goldpoint volume controls and switchers

Hi Dan,

I haven't used the goldpoints. But everything I have read has been positive. I did build a 2*24 series stepped attenuator using PRP resistors. I compared it to the ALPS blue that came with my integrated amp and a TKD 2CP-2511. I can tell you it's no contest. The stepped attenuator is far superior. Better clarity, focus and extension. If you can deal with getting up and turning the volume up and down you will be happy with the sonic difference.

After hearing the difference I'm surprised so many expensive preamps and integrated amps use Alps blues. The TKD was superior to the Alps blue. But the stepped attenuator is staying put.

Dan you can look up review's and talk regarding the Elma stepped attenuators as well. They make the attenuators for gold-point. I can search for some a little later.

Stanwal I am currently using a 100k 24 stepped series style attenuator and I have no problem with range. My normal listening is between 9 and 11 o'clock. I'm currently waiting for some dale resistors to try building stepped attenuators with only two resistors in the signal path. I figured out my own steps so I could make the steps about 1 1/2 db per step in the area I like to listen to most of my music. Then I plan to buy better attenuators and better resistors in the steps I use most often. I'm building mono attenuators. By the way you will like the TKD it is a nice improvement from the Alps.
