What is it called?

I have a McIntosh MC-252. And a CDP. The Mc has no gain control. I do not have preamp $$$ right now. I need a volume control. Does Raio Shack have what I need? If so what is it called, because the local RS ppl say they have nothing like that. Or, what other ways can volume be controlled, cheaply. thanks.

Thats awesome Herman. Even with part/catalog info and instructions. I know what i am doing tomorrow. My email is aburger@kc.rr.com. I am sorry Theo, I just bought a pair of Klipsch RF7s and a Sony 400 disc CDP yesterday, and there was not any $$$ for audio purchases for June's budget! In a week from now, $75.00 will have more value than it did yesterday. Thanks anyway.

I'll email some instructions.

You shouldn't post your email as there are programs that can search for them inside forums like this and start spamming you. One way to get around that is to change a portion and then describe the changes in the text.

So instead of your real email, post xxxxxx@kc.rr.com with instructions to change the xxxxxx to aburger.

Here is an excellent way to improve on the basic volume pot attenuator, use the best resistor (Caddock etc.) that you can afford... http://www.lara.on.ca/~gandalf/

I agree with Gordus. I don't know why I didn't suggest the same. That is the scheme I am using with good results.
