Volume control upgrades-

I have been into this hobby for over 25 years. I just completed my 3rd volume control upgrade on a preamp and was reminded just how much of a huge upgrade it is. By far, I feel the most significant upgrade one can do, regardless of cost.

This time I used a Goldpoint attenuator, which cost $150. I added a Bent Audio remote control system for $200. Labor was $200. Just incredible. The preamp had a standard $5 volume pot in it. In the past I have used TKD stepped controls.

I am now at the point that this change is an essential one.
Thought I'd share with others as it really is a low cost upgrade.

Would anyone care to recommend a dual volume attenuators upgrade for a first generation "Audible Illusions Modulus Tube Preamplifier with MM Phono Section". I know this would definitely be a very good simple upgrade for this wonderful hybrid early generation preamp...

Just need the nomenclature/design elements of the parts I need, my knowledge in this area is nonexistent. But the setup I will be useing could benefit quite alot from this type upgrade as I understand.

Thks Jeff
PS I will not hold any recommendations against the overall success of this project.
