Volume Pot Upgraqde

So, I think I have a solution.

I am going to fabricate a sub chassis that will accommodate a stepped attenuater.

The "sub frame" will also allow me to add a selector switch and more inputs as well since the baby only has a single stereo pair input.

I am also upgrading the coupling capacitors to Mundorf Silver/Gold Oil caps.

I will post up some pics when it is finished (can we even do that here? I'm new)

Should you use 'break before make' switches in a selector application?
How about a nice bank of relays and 'soft touch' momentary contact switches?

Good point! I will work on putting that together...

How about an external switch box like the Goldpoint SW4 ($352) so you don't have to drill into the preamp.

Wish that I had these kind of options when I did a project like this years ago.

Instead of coupling capacitors, consider a Jensen or Lundahl 1:1 line level output transformer.
