my integrated harman/kardon amp is getting weak in some parts (balance-pot etc.) and i'm searching for a solution to replace it in the nearer future. so i thought of asking some of the diy-manufacturers to build me a passive preamp. all it has to have are 3 switchable inputs (cdp, tape, reserve), 2 paralleled outs (poweramp & tape-in/ppa) and some decent volume-regulation (alps blue?). i don't need all these bass-, treble- and balance-pots at all.
for listening through speakers i want to combine it with an used rotel-poweramp (eg. rb951). the phones are going to be feeded with the ppa. my main source currently is a sony scd-xe670 (entry level cdp/sacd)
do you think a passive preamp would be enough to power one of the smaller rotel-poweramps? or should i just purchase an (low-cost) active preamp?
