Review on Bellari Audio PP532 Passive Preamplifier by Susan Forrest

This great little passive preamp replaced my Schiit Audio SYS. I liked the device when I first bought it, but over time it became a disappointment. At $49, it worked as a temporary fix, not a long-term fix. This Bellari is a whole different story. The fit and finish, build quality (material), volume control precision, and ease of use were all top-notch. I used it for the first time last night and it was a pleasure to use. As befits a passive preamp, it didn't add its own sonic signature. Yes, it's twice the price of SYS, but it's worth every penny. I still have Schiit Audio gear and am a big fan of them, but this Bellari gear is very impressive.
