goldpoint volume controls and switchers


Has anyone used these before? I would appreciate hearing your experiences, especially ergonomics, build quality, any effect(s) on sound quality.

Thanks!

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.
Hi Detredwings, thanks.

Can you point me to any of the things you have read? I can't find much other than the stuff on their website.

Thanks again.

As far as I can tell, military grade build quality - you can hardly go wrong with Goldpoint attenuators - right up there with anything in the market in terms of quality and sound.
