Check out the Creek OBH-10 or OBH-12. The 10 is a single input volume control. The 12 is a small passive preamp with 3 inputs and a tape loop. Both are extremely quiet and can be controlled by a remote. I think you can find the 10 used for about $200 and the 12 will be a bit more.
Volume Control?
Hopefully someone could help me with my dilema. I just want a single source (SACD-Player) to my amp, I don't want to spend 10 of thousands of dollars on a quality preamp. I need just something with a volume control to control the CD-Player's output, but have to be transparent and cost effective. I heard of Placette, are they any good? Any other advice or suggestions appreciated.
Thank You
