Marchand can make custom attenuators. More expensive than DACT but at least worth an email. The DACT is series, as opposed to ladder, if I remember correctly. Size might be an issue as well. Goldpoint could be another option (goldpt.com). I have never seen anything over 100K but it might be possible with a shunt. What wattage are we talking about here? And what range? Is it possible to get a meter on it? Powered off, of course.
Stepped Attenuator to replace Potentiometer.
Hello: We have a set of Wolcott Monoblocks, for which I am researching replacing the volume pots with something like a DACT stepped attenuator for each mono block. The problem is that I can not seem to find a compatible attenuator that could replace the stock 25 meg ohm pots.
The circuitry is point-to-point wiring, powering eight 6ca7, two 6dw8, and two 12at7 tubes per side. It might be more of a hassle to mess with getting around the stock pots to substitute attenuators; however, I'm not an engineer and would therefore appreciate your informative advice and suggestions. Thank you.
