It would be interesting to see your system under your ID to see where you are coming from. What has been your experience with remote control / non-remote / stepped attenuators.
Does remote control degrade the sound of tube preamps?
Some preamp manufactures (e.g. CAT) don’t put remote controls in their preamps due to the supposed sound degradation. This could also be just an excuse. Do you think the sound quality is degraded with a remote? I am talking about an audible effect.

@ghdprentice I think @blackdoghifi knows what he is talking about and here are pictures of the line-stages he builds. |
Was a long time Spectral Audio devotee. Had dmc 12 an amazing value and outstanding phono module. At the time both models of spectral did not have remote controls based on the sound degradation pathway. Eventually moved to the dmc 30 with remote control. Essentially the same spectral sound . Found most of the spectral equipment had thei house sound, the only reason I upgraded power amps was power hungry Maggie’s/ so answer is well designed circuit will not degrade sound |
It is only beneficial for Focal to manufacture their own drivers if they can do it to a better quality/value mix than other OEM manufacturers. Given Focal's production volume, this is unlikely to be the case. Therefore if the quality of Focal drivers is truly superior to other OEMs then this is likely to drive up sharply the price of Focal speakers, making them poorer value for money. |
