Passive Preamps

I'm curious about passive preamps. Has anyone tried a passive preamp in their system?

Its clarity, soundstage and extremely low noise floor are quite remarkable. I recently compared it with a top notch VAC active preamp. The VAC had a bigger soundstage but also was little more colored. Dynamics and bass seemed equal to me.
