Volume Control?


Hopefully someone could help me with my dilema. I just want a single source (SACD-Player) to my amp, I don't want to spend 10 of thousands of dollars on a quality preamp. I need just something with a volume control to control the CD-Player's output, but have to be transparent and cost effective. I heard of Placette, are they any good? Any other advice or suggestions appreciated.

Thank You

The Placette is supposed to be very good from what i've read here. You might also want to think about a pair of Ultimate Attenuators from Ric at Electronic Visionary Systems. His website is http://www.tweakaudio.com and he can build you whatever value stepped attenuators that he thinks you will need for your specific gear. These will be a couple hundred dollars compared to $1000+ for the Placette. Sean

Placette RVC is the real deal,a money back 30 day trial from manufacturer available, you will be keeping it if you listen to it.

a follow up to Sean's reply the EVS attenuators are excellent but the Placette RVC is in another league sonically having owned both previously.
