I currently use a CXA61 from Cambridge Audio as a preamp. I did some comparisons between that and going direct into my SE84UFO, and couldn't tell an appreciable difference. So, with the CXA61, I get remote control volume, an extra line-level out for the subwoofer, and can pop it out of direct mode when I need balance, or low/high EQ.
I do have a Slagle autoformer on the way, and plan to wire that up in the next few weeks and give a passive a try, but can't comment on that right now. Never heard one before, but the promise of dynamics at low volumes was too tempting not to try.
We'll see if I like it, but I also have my eye on making an Elekit TU-8500, or trying an LDR pre, like The Truth or one from Tortuga.
