In my search i came aross NHT speakers in my sound and vision magazine. I proceeded to check out their website and found this http://www.nhthifi.com/s.nl/it.A/id.828/.f?sc=12&category=1334 a volume controller that works via rca or single signal wire in. This is great because its smaller and eliminates the absolute need for a preamp/pro. just wanted to share!

i consider myself handy but i would not want to try and take on a task of building one of these because my technical knowledge of how to properly do so is limited let alone it would not look good at all when done.

Does anyone know of another unit that is cheaper and could replace this one?

Tell me exactly how you want/need to use the device. Would only a single input suffice? I have a friend who may have something that he can loan you so you can test the concept of a passive line stage without incurring any expense.

The transformers are in the pro unit only and are used for isolation

between the ground of the source component and what follows after. The

PC version does not have the transformers from what I can tell. In

either case, both are simply passive line level attenuators. Another

negative with this unit is that it doesn't allow for any kind of balance

adjustment between the 2 channels. NHT makes a point of the tracking

accuracy between the two channels, but that's a moot point since most

recordings are not balanced, and neither are our ears.
