Passive Pre-amp

[myles]

I'm looking for a cheap (!) passive pre to go with the incoming Leak Stereo 20. It will need at least two inputs.

Whatcha got?! Thanks.

Nada from me, but congrats on bagging the amp!

Not sure if your going to John's B/O but I'm taking my Leak and NVA P50 SA MKII pre combo, so you can hear that if you come.

Check your PMs on PFM Myles, I might have something for you.

Cheers @Nagraboy . Anyone else? 💸

Tisbury secondhand prices I guess

Not sure if I should post as I’ve never used one, but I’ve read a couple of reccommendations on various forums for the JDSlabs Oswitcher.
The reason I’m (semi) interested is that I plan to get hold of a Quad 303 and it’s occurred to me that one of these could be a good stop gap until I can source a serviced Quad preamp.
As i say, no personal experience but could be worth a punt at £50?

I'll have a close look at that, thank you 👍

Schiit Sys is cheap, has 2 inputs & supposedly works well with Quad amps.

I can’t believe I’ve missed this!
Excuse the pun, but I’m a Schiit user and have been very impressed with their Modi 3 and Modius DACs.
So if I do need a passive pre, then I’d deffo give this serious thought.
Message for OP - another good option perhaps?

They seem to be sold out everywhere - that was one I was looking for

Get a tisbury.
They come up fairly often.

 

[myles]

I'm going to bump this up there - is there anything interesting?

You could try the Nobsound on amazon (3 off i/p, source select, vol pot, 1 off o/p) . [BTW if you've got modern line outs driving a Stereo-20 you might want Rothwell 15dB attenuators on the Stereo-20 i/p ... its what I use on mine.] Might work OK until you can find a Tisbury.

Only just seen your ad, but I have a Tisbury Mini Passive II. Excellent condition and boxed.

I'd been saving it for a rainy day, but I probably won't ever use it in reality, so drop me a PM if you still want one.

Interested and pm sent if still available.

PM responded to. @myles has first refusal on this now, but you are down as second on the list if we don't go ahead for whatever reason.

The Hattor passives are very good, I use one in my system, but maybe a bit pricey for you, although not expensive in this hobby!

They are the Selfridge's Khozmo!

All sorted now - thanks to everyone for the advice.
