RE: Volume Control

Not sure if the gain and impedance values between the Lafayette and the Quad would support it, but you can very inexpensively build yourself a passive volume control between them with just 4 RCA connectors and a stereo volume pot wired together. Search on the internet to find out how to wire a volume control. A small metal or plastic candy tin would be adequate to mount the parts in. You could do the whole thing for about $5 (assuming you are already set up to solder). I have a couple of these at home I use for testing and that usually works fine. Get a stereo 50k or 100K audio taper potentiometer and give it a try.

Or get a real preamp as several have suggested.
