I replaced a C-J LS16 MKII with a Placette Passive Linestage and got better openess and transparency. I was able to listen to music at lower volumes with better musical involvement.

How would you compare the bass of the CJ 16LS to the Placette? Did the sound brighten up overall?

Thanks, -Ryan

I too have a placette passive. For me I got better bass.---Unbelievable; little crappy / cheap looking sucker. How it does what it does--and gives me remote control--I don't have a clue.
