IF you are using a powerfull source ie; a CDP, DAC, or most phonos then All you actually need is a Simply Volume control (pot, Attenuator ) and Wires to connect it betwixt source and Amp.
IF there are impedance match issues (sometimes there are sometimes there are not, experiment/) then a Simple Buffer (passdiy.com B1 buffer kit ~40$) .. WILL.. better or at least Equal ..Any.. premade preamp money can buy.
Won't have a sparkly shiny box or bragging rights though.
