[QUOTE="JBredene, post: 872542, member: 19964"] Have been using the Schiitt Audio Saga pre for a couple of months now and it is very good. Switchable between fully passive (i.e. no powered electronics) - or going through the 6SN7 valve buffer with no gain but improved ability to drive power amp inputs optimally. Driving a T-Rex power amp there is a distinct difference between the two modes with the buffered option sounding stronger in the bass and slightly increased volume vs the passive option. Driving a Schiitt Vidar power amp or my Adcom power amp there is very little if any discernible difference between the two modes - both sounding full, neutral and balanced. Highly recommended for what is a very affordable option for a passive/buffer pre with remote control for input selection, volume and mode. http://www.schiit.com/products/saga [IMG]http://www.schiit.com/public/upload/general/saga-fr-1920.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
