but if the JO5 is fundemenatlly the same as a DJ5 soundwise...??? then the passive Lakland
needs a pre amp. I'm pretty sure they don't have one but a JE would liven it up.
Sorry, not much help... I like the DJ in terms of the RW and blocks but I feel they lack character
generally and are too polite a sound, hence the need for a pre amp install.

To me it's the other way round: I prefer my '06 DJ5 w. Aeros passive...... on the other hand, my Sadowsky MV5, I like better with the preamp:)
