Into the dark abyss I go again....

hermanv, how much to build a passive such as yours and does it have a remote?

Well, a passive preamp consists of an input selector and an attenuator and about that's it.

It seems to me that basicaly you could build one with this remote control selector + attenuator like this one, (here), from DIY Gene, $40, plus the requisite power transformer for the remote function, (here), $20, and a case like this one, (here), $60. It would cost you around $120 plus shipping.



(Wow! I'm thinking I could go for that myself!)

This is the remote control that I got. It needs a separate 12v transformer, but I'm very pleased with it.
