Who makes great active preamps ? Tube or solid state or hybrid.

Well, I'd add Jadis and second the Shindo and VAC recommendations.  But I must have missed something, maybe in another thread--who is claiming that Lamm, Rowland and Pass don't make great active preamps?  My experience with Lamm alone would dispute that claim.

Well, first I meant great not just excellent, and second I meant compared to their power amps. Sure, Lamm are excellent.

Inna - What makes a "great" preamp to you ? Hard to make suggestions . Only you can decide that 

Shindo, Luxman, Nagra all make excellent preamps.

CAT also makes an excellent preamp.

I have heard all in a system I am intimately familiar with or my home system.

What is your listening experience with Pass, Rowland and Lamm?

+1.

Backert Labs changed my perception of "active" preamp. Hard to believe that an active can be so transparent and dynamic at the same time.
