Retrofit remote volume to integrated tube?


How difficult would it be to retrofit a non-remote controlled integrated amp with a motorized volume control? I want to say that there is ample room to house the parts and I can remove the LED in favor of the IR receiver "eye".

Will I be introducing potential "noise" by incorporating this "luxury" item? Am I better off finding a decent pre with remote?

I hate to add another component to my very minimalist 2 ch. tube rig just for the sake of saving a few steps from the sofa to the amp but, yes, I really am that lazy when I'm "in the groove" with my music.

TIA for any ideas and/or suggestions!

If you are listening primarily to a CD player, you can try to find one that has its own volume control and use that. That is what I did to great effect. But I must say, that now that I have a remote controled tube amp I am much happier going that way.

The Wellbourne kit looks really interesting. I wonder what the feasibility of putting the kit, including display, in a separate chassis and running shielded cables to it from the volume leads in the preamp. This way it could be easily returned to original configuration for resale, if desired.

Why do you want a motorized volume but no remote?
Anyhow:
eshop.diyclub.biz has MV-01 for a paltry $32.00. But 100k pot.

dantimax.com has nice $29.60 Rem1kit but you have to solder it yourself.

www.audioelectronicsupply.com has RVC-2 kit premade for $200.00
