Found: source for cheap ladder attenuators

[Peter Daniel]

I've already ordered my two 22k attenuators. At $105 for both, it's still a good deal.

Peter,
Do you know if he charges extra for the ones with no rings for smaller chassis? And does it change the sound at all? I'm going to need one that will fit in a fairly small box, and that looks perfect.

 

[Peter Daniel]

The price is the same and I wouldn't expect a change in the sound. But it takes longer to get them. A friend of mine got already the bigger pot, but the smaller size were promised to me after Dec12.

I got my mono att.last night and they really work/sound better already.Now I need a stereo set.

Hi,

Does anyone know where not assembled kit or just the switch from this kit can be bought???

Are these worth considering as a cost-effective substitute for the ladder attenuator on the the Aleph P? If so, which value would be most appropriate?

Cost effective substitute????
The true ladder type will actually work better.

The only drawback is that for XLR outputs one should use two of them since they are intended for stereo RCA (4 deck).

Here's the e-mail of the seller kyc111@hotmail.com

He can do custom value and different resistors arrangement (wide or slim body)

While Dales are OK, they not great. I plan to replaced most frequently used resistors in a switch with better ones.

Thanks Peter,

Which brands do you consider better?

Bartek

 

[Peter Daniel]

Vishays, AN tantalums, Rikens, Caddocks. The choice is always dependant on the sound of the rest of a system.

Bartek, I agree that it probably does. Budget is also a consideration though so I am looking at other available options.

When will the group buy begin?

Can we pay using PAYPAL?

attnuator kit

how can i get one of these in the kit form and how much money about does it cost after shipping and all to the states (mobile, alabama)? i am extremely interested in these

 

[rvas18]

is there a price difference between the two types too (fat and unfat)

 

[audiodoc]

I got mine with shipping only being $6 to USA.If anyone needs a mono 100k set let me know.It's still new in the box.

I just ordered one of the 10K Ladder attuenators from the Ebay offer. There are still 4 available in 10K.

I'm not sure a group buy gets us anything. Shipping is only $6 and the attuenator is $49.75 USD. Not sure what scales of economy could hapen here. It doesn't get any easier than using Ebay and PayPal.

Can't wait to get mine and try it out.

Just my $.02 worth,

HI,

I was talking about kits offcourse, not the ready-soldered product form ebay.. the kits are much less expensive. Actually I'm not worried about the shipping-cost, but I have no way of contacting the seller of the kist... it's all chinese/japanes or whatever... I can't seem to use their website buying applet... So I'm still very interrested in a KIT-group-buy...

cya,
Thijs

Why don't you use his e-mail address: kyc111@hotmail.com

A friend of mine got his 10K attenuator today and it's made very well. It seems like the outside resistor leads are not hand soldered but done though some sort of automatic proccess.

Thanks! will do...
