Working out great

I've been using a 47K ohm resistor in line with the signal and the Bent audio 47k remote control pot as a shunt to ground.

I REALLY REALLY don't hear any loss of signal or dynamics. And I'm a picky bastard! Actually I'm really enjoying this with my new solid state setup as a passive control. Blows away everything else I've used prior.

You've got the equipment to try it out. See if there is any signal change with a basic setting of a 47K ohm resistor and about a 10k shunt resistor. Or just a 47k pot as a variable resistor. It could be the answer we lazy bones were looking for.

I've also come to realize just how crappy a lot of volume pots actually sound. Wow - some of them can really ruin a good stereo. Try out a stepped attenuator.

A Creek OBH-10 or Chase RLC might be a touch more elegant. nt - viridian 19:18:44 08/17/14 (0)
