Hey Guys,

I would appreciate it if you guys can tell me of the Cheapest Passive-Pre that you know of.It might be better to have XLR out, but that is not absolutely neccesary. I would prefer to have at least RCA and not just 1/4".

I'm pursuing this because my integrated amp does not have pre-outputs
I would like to connect a cheap passive-pre to Tape-Output and use it to control output voltage of Tape-Out.
My idea is to give Powered Sub a try with a Behringer FD.
I haven't made up my mind, but would like to consider the total cost.

Here some some of the units I have considered:

NHT PVC PRO $79

Axiom Passive Preamp w/Halco or Caddock resistors ($135/$160)

I would appreciate any input.
Thanks,

JRA
