Post Subject: Active, passive...try it... Posted by Romy the Cat on: 3/12/2007
Well, if you do not have anything user 35Hz and have low sensitivety then the passive might do. Still in future, when you feel comfortable with your passive unit you might for the sake of self-education try an following experiment: Guy Hummel use to have an separate buffer in a small box and a set of very short cables. He used to lend the set for free to the passive preamp people to let them experience what a real good buffer can do when it plugged right after a passive unit. Despite your 35Hz I think that you might find it beneficial. His active buffers are way more capable Hummel's own or Chapman's passive units. I do not know about the transformer units. Still, I do not see any needs to have a transformer (with it's all probelms) juts for a sake of attenuation. If you try the Guy’s active buffer after the Bent's unit then let me know – it might be interesting to learn. Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
