RE: BTW- Power Amp with Passive Pre

A passive volume setup may not work, due to low power amp I/P impedance. You really have to be prepared for the 10 KOhm IHF "standard". However, a "unity" gain buffered volume control will do quite nicely. Buffering makes a 100 KOhm volume pot. feasible in combination with a low I/P impedance power amp.

A cheapy 25.2 VCT "Rat Shack" power trafo, 4X 1 A./50 PIV Schottky diodes, 2X 'lytics of decent size, a 7812, and a 7912 make a bipolar PSU suitable for JFET source followers in the buffer role. The only cap. in the signal path is an O/P coupler.
