Transformer volume controls

No they don't. They also can drive fairly long interconnect and maintain dynamics at all volumn settings

Some of my best listening time is late at night when the household is asleep. I play my Ypsilon TVC preamp at very low volumes and feel that I'm missing nothing from the recording. To be fair, the Esoteric front end is a big contributor to this fine low level sound. Although I'm a dealer for both of these products, this is what I hear.

Agree with the comments about the TVC. My linestage has them rather than a resistor VC and is remarkably transparent,dynamic and resolved at low or high listening volumes.They are very natural in sound.I believe you`d like them.
