50k (or 100K) stepped attenuator wanted :)
Doing a quick Google returned these, http://www.1st-4-audio.com/store/product.asp?P_ID=99. A tad pricey though, but there don't seem to be many other manufacturers. How about assembling your own using something like a 24 position rotary switch and some resistors. There are a few web sites that I came across detailing how you go about it, including calculators for the resistor values. Probably not much help I know.
Yep, audiocom seem to be the only people who stock in UK. I would rather get premade as i dont fancy all that soldering, i do enough at work
Why not have a look at Yen Cheng Kuos' (KYC111 on ebay),the last ones I bought cost me just over £32 including shipping from Taipei,Taiwan and he has 100% Positive Feedback. I also bought switches from him excluding ebay and this has also been problem free but takes about 2 weeks.
that guy is excellent, i bought 1 50k mono mono from him, never have chance to use it as i am busy in writing my msc thesis if you want a step attenuator kit, you can buy from here... 100k stereo type http://www.my3c.net/product/detail.asp?gid=104&ky=&pid=1835 only NT690, dale resistors and aluminium knob are included!!!!! or 100k balanced type http://www.my3c.net/product/detail.asp?gid=104&ky=&pid=1843 NT1280 unfortunately the site is in chinese, so you have to ask friends of you who know chinese to help you..... if you think you dont have good soldering skill (just like me), then i highly recommend you to buy the assembled one from ebay, as a poor connection will distort the quality of sound.
My last order was not via eBay and I asked for 2 additional 'bare' switches which were about a fiver each,the workmanship and soldering skills are exceptional at any price and my only caveat is the durablity of the switches (even Elmas' will eventually wear out). I have not tried my switches but please read Todd Kriegers findings including follow ups on AA and kyc's feedback on ebay (not a dissatisfied customer in sight and with 340 Plus this takes some blxxdy doing). http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=tweaks&n=101690&highlight=Todd+kreiger&r=&session=
