Cheapest volume control

I'm strongly considering selling my Peachtree Nova Pre in order to get a Schiit bifrost uber but I'll need some way to control volume. I was previously using a Lightspeed Attenuator, which I loved.

I was thinking about just buying s Schiit SYS for the time being. Is the SYS going to be a let down? I really only have about $100 to spend on a volume control right now. I only need one set of inputs and one set of outputs. I dont have to have a remote control. I'm just looking for the best sounding option.

My current amp is a Peachtree 220.

Thanks for your help! I appreciate it.

Ivan, so it sounds like thats not really the way to go, with the axiom that is.

Buconero, can't find any for $100, found one on e bay for $200, if you have an extra one and want to sell it...saw how quick you snatched up that one from here, lol

Looked up Roger Modjeski's pot in a box, can't find that one either...I'm not a diy guy but I know someone who could solder up a Noble pot to rca's if that is all you do...

I should have just bought that damn goldpoint 3 days ago. I seem to be 2 days short in the last 3 or 4 deals I slept on.

Thanks Clio. That may be the way I go unless a goldpoint comes up again.

Bob, the dac I am looking at doesn't have balanced out.

Thanks again to everyone!

Thats what I was thinking. I tried getting the Goldpoint here on Audiogon 2 days ago but I offered $130 and he wouldn't take it.

Maybe I should try to swing a goldpoint or something a bit better than the sys is what I'm hearing. It will be awhile till I can get another lightspeed.

What about that luminous passive? Any others besides the goldpoint, that are really inexpensive and worthy? I was even looking at that bottlehead quickie...
