Goldpoint Stepped Attenuators

We could make a new face plate…

I love the looks of the Acurus, simple and clean, no need to mess that up. Like the functionality of the unit, simple and clean.

Joe, I have a Acurus L10 sitting under the bench, and it's a nice one.
It just doesn't do it for me when I look at it. No mojo.

Another 5K and you can have some bling....

You want bling?

Is the Acurus RL11 as good as the L10? Better?

If it doesn't have Bass and Treble controls for each channel, I don't want it. The ability to crank in bass or lower the treble for different sources or recordings is important to me.

Lee, that's a lot of gear you have there!
Running your tweeters on the Marantz?

Joe,
How does the Acurus compare to a Crown IC150?

You are kidding right Mark?

I knew that would get you going.

nYeash!! Is that a gas or what????

I know this thread is REALLY old, but I'm curious why a 100k stepped attenuator was used given input impedance is 10k on a pl400...or am I wrong?

 

[mlucitt]

The 100K stepped attenuator (Level Control, Volume Knob) is in parallel with a 10K (Phase Linear) or 39K (White Oak Audio) pull down resistors. Using Ohms Law, we can see the input resistance (impedance is frequency driven) of the PL400 is 9.999 Ohms (Phase Linear) or 28K (White Oak Audio).
In my case the 100K stepped attenuator was paired with a White Oak Audio Control Board. I would not recommend a 100K attenuator for use in a PL400 with a Phase Linear control board. The input resistance would be lower than 10K, and 10K is already too low,
