Who makes the best passive volume control?


my thing is transparency I live most passive pre's more then actives(except the really $$$ ones) but I only listen to one source so a passive volume control might be even better...

in your experience who makes the best one you've heard..

Any of the Reference Line models. Reference Line was the "reference" pre-amp for a number of equipment reviewers because of its neutrality and transparency. Plus the dynamics is incredible.
I've had the Adcom 750 and the Placette remote volume control. Placette is a little better, but the Adcom provides more features and inputs/outputs and for the money is the best deal in audio.
Channel Islands Audio and NHT both make very serviceable passives, at a very reasonable price.
