Is it possible to retrofit and preamp with a remote control? I know I could just buy a new preamp, but preamps with MCMM phono sections are pretty rare and pricey.
i would suggest contacting Michael Percy that might have in stock servo-remote-controlled stepped attenuator with 120steps 0.5db(only for your volume control!). watch $$$.
The Creek mentioned above is worth a try. The circuit gets out of the way when no remote signal is present, so it is like having nothing there at all. It's so passive, it's really just a volume control .
I'm using a Creek (OBH-12 actually) with my ARC SP-6B. I tried placing it between the preamp and amp and was NOT happy with the result. However, placing it in the tape loop worked like a charm. I don't use a tape machine, so it was perfect for me.
