Golden Ears Fail Again

[E-Stat]

Nice attenuator, btw. I line it.

Thanks. It has since undergone some changes due to leftover parts from the second model and now feeds my vintage garage system. Inadvertently, I purchased twice as many Cardas RCA jacks as I needed, so I later put them in this unit. Also, I got a meter of JPS Labs wire for free and rewired both units with it. Here's my favorite passive design by Steve Eddy (who helped me with wiring mine - which is why I dubbed them the SE-1 and SE-2).

Ever think of trying those $500 wooden knobs everyone in AA is chortling about?

Don't think so.

I did spend some "extra" money on the finish of the second unit with it's nicer anodized aluminum case from Para-Metals and more leftover ARC knobs. More importantly, it uses DACT precision stepped attenuators, silver solder, Cardas connectors, and some of that free JPS Labs alumalloy wire.





BTW, the sealed baggie of sand is there to ballast the unit as my ultra stiff cables tend to stand it up.
