Remote Volume Control for my Decware amp

Tariffs suck

I use this https://www.thebestamp.com/IR_Remote_Volume_Controls/RV-1003.php

Space Tech labs Model no:   RV-1003

But it wasn't that expensive when I bought mine but it sounds like strait wire with attenuation

See if you can find one of these https://reverb.com/item/35095711-creek-obh-12-passive-preamplifier-with-remote-control-in-excellent-condition. I used one back in the day with my Jolida JA502A and connected my OBH-8 phono stage and Sony XA20ES CD player through it and it was just the ticket. Does not alter your sound in any way and also allows remote source selection and it even has a tape loop. The one in the listing sold for about what they cost new.

My disc player has a remote actuated by its remote control.

Someone should build something like Neil Young’s “whizzer”, which takes a signal and physically turns the knobs on his beloved Fender amps. While Neil’s device works with presets, a device that used a remote ranging from 0-100 should be doable:

When I ran my Decware amp, I too needed a remote volume control.  I used a Schiit Saga 1, which is essentially a switcher with a volume control.  It did nothing to the sound that I could find and they're readily available used for a good price.

Ahh...Well,...I do have a Z stage, but that would be a bit cumbersome.  There are remote control passive pre's out there, but, like you, I don't want to put any inferior components in the signal path.

@yakatak i believe it was a wired solution, not remote. My bad. I believe it was the gain stage (Zstage) wired to the Triode but placed close to my listening position for control. 

What device was Steve D. referring to?  I don't know of any Deckware components with remote volume control??

@oddiofyl  Yeah that was sad.  If not available new they pop up used occasionally — two sold earlier this year for $450. 

Unfortunately Guy of Placette passed away last year.   Not sure if Placette is still in business. 

This is what this was made for.  Not cheap, but it’s transparent.
