I have the original Eastern Electric Minimax DAC. I've discovered that a Goldpoint stepped attenuator will physically fit in the DAC, replacing the stock volume pot. So I was wondering if changing the wiring to and from the attenuator to solid silver would be of sonic benefit along w/ the attenuator change or is the attenuator change enough? What do you folks think? If changing the wiring is a good idea, any suggestions on who to go to to obtain this wiring? |

Try EBay. They sometimes have good prices on stepped attenuators with Dale resistors and bulk silver wire. |
