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


It appears, it is not Pass, Rowland, even Lamm etc. Who then ? 
I heard about Ypsilon, though some say it is a little bright and forward sounding.

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.
I've been using the Veloce Lithio 2.0 for some time. Although no longer marketed, Vytas still supports it. He did an upgrade for me shortly after I got to Texas a couple years ago, different batteries, some other changes. I never tried it with a standard 6H30, have been using NOS DR Reflecktors- it is pretty stunning. I feel no need to change. It has the midrange magic of the Lamm L2 Reference but more information at the frequency extremes. 
I think there are lots of good preamps and line stages out there.
