Implement remote completely separate from the audio circuit....Bent Audio (used by Slagle in his autoformer units), Placette, EVA, etc....not all that expensive either.I believe the guy from Dartzeel is using LDRs in his preamp...certainly not a pioneer there either.
Thought the post made by your enemy on the Lamm bullshit was a great one.

I can confirm this. The key to the EVA is that the remote volume control only varies the light intensity on the LDR. There are no moving parts or multiple contacts. It's as transparent and noise free as can be. I believe I read somewhere that it's been determined that typical switch contacts are more detrimental to sound quality then adding another set of interconnects.I've written this before, but it's worth repeating: at a little over $400 including shipping, the EVA 2 has to be one of the best values in all of Audio. To further insure there's no added noise, I replaced the wall-wart PS with a linear/regulated supply for about $40. Let's see, EVA 2 LDR attenuator $400 or Dartzeel LDR attenuator $20,000. Or is it $30,000?

I put my name in for an EVA 2 some time ago but it doesn't seem like we will see them again. Haven't heard anything about another production run.
In the meantime, I acquired an AVC from Dave Slagle. This thing is a revelation. It is far superior to all of the higher priced preamps I have owned (some much higher). I hope to find an EVA or perhaps try the LDR from Australia but I think I reached the pinnacle already.
