Conclusion
The LA4 is probably the most transparent and revealing audio component I've ever used. It does not seem to leave any fingerprints on the sound. It has a useful array of inputs, outputs, and functions, and the use of sealed relays for volume and input selection assures a long and noise-free life. Benchmark might improve on the display and remote control, but I do not have any criticism of the LA4's sonic performance.

Something tells me this will not be DROK x-D

 

BTW I think that preamps group test would be great, there aren't many of these.

This is something that has me hesitant. I exchanged emails today with an engineer, who everybody knows, and he said that under strict conditions passive attenuators can be magical.

Many tears have been shed by megabuck active preamps owners who heard a 10x cheaper passive one performing better 9_9
