Balanced Variable Attenuators

I am looking for variable, balanced attenuators (L & R) to go between my SACD Player and amps (don't want a preamp), I was looking at Endler Audio but reviews say the lessen soundstage depth. I would love a pair of Ultimate Attenuators but I understand they are no longer in production. I don't want a passive amp as I don't want another set of interconnects. I'd like something of very high end quality and not really a DIYer for something like this. I would appreciate any thoughts. Thanks,

I agree with Onhwy. I've used the Endlers before. They aren't going to pass for a Class A preamp in performance, but they are very good for the modest cost. I used them for a couple years going straight from a cdp to my amps.

Look at Goldpoint or Bent Audio for remote control.

Placette is available, in a balanced configuration, though it doubles the cost. I owned the SE version. VERY transparent! (http://www.placetteaudio.com/index.htm) I'd still own it, were it not for the acoustic nightmare of a listening room, with which I am dealing(requires correction).

Why not email Ric? He may build you a pair. Just be patient as they are very labor intensive. Mine were worth the wait.
