Hi,
I learned of an individual in Taipei selling 23 position ladder attenuators with Vishay RN60Ds for 50USD, or 60USD for a pair of monos. He will do custom jobs as well.
Here's a link to his eBay auctions:
.http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.d...erid=kyc111&include=0&since=-1&sort=3&rows=50
I have no affiliation with him, just wanted to pass a good deal on.

Could you do a little translation?
It looks like there is a 10K and a 100K version, and maybe its 368 for a kit and 980 assembled, but not sure what currency it is?
Randy
Is this the same one that was mentioned here? http://diyaudio.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=21188&perpage=15&pagenumber=1
Tomchaoda did this tranlation http://www.penguinlovers.net/audio/Attenuator.html

Wow, if the kits really are under 20$us, (even 30 would be fine 🙂) count me in for at least three and maybe five or six!! I would order them right away, but I can't read korean... and probably that shipping from korea for only three units would be somewhat high. (As compared to a case of 50 or 100 units)
The best solution would probably be for someone with good korean/english communication skills to order a lot and then to sell them back in America 🙂

In the other thread on these, I think someone mentioned that that store charges a flat fee of $25 for shipping, so a group buy would no doubt be the way to go.
tool,
um... the page is in chinese (they speak chinese and taiwanese in taiwan). being taiwanese, i had to correct the post.
too bad i didn't find out about this post a week ago, i could have asked my friend to pick some up when we went to visit.
i think there's been some disscussion about it on the head-fi.org forum

i dont know about you guys, but if i can buy this puppy on ebay assembled for $50, my time is worth a LOT more than $20 of assembly! sure, its DIY, but that is tedious, mindless work...
Thanks diamdiam. Being neither chinese nor korean nor taiwanese, I had no idea taiwanese spoke chinese. Well case in point, they still have a lot of talent coming up with kits like these!
Well the time I spend building stuff like that is priceless. Even 1 dollar extra to have it made is not worth it, I'd rather do it myself. But then again, some may value their time differently.
Cheers,
Sébastien

agreed. i like doing things myself, but sitting and soldering resistors on one of those thigns just seems like a nightmare waiting to happen! i would get one in the wrong place, etc...
I will probably mess a few myself. And perhaps burn my fingers a couple of times too. I probably wont be able to bend the circling cable the first 39 times. But nothing beats that feeling once you get it to work properly 🙂
Just like Mike Wazowski when he finally finishes up reconstructing Boo's door in Monsters Inc. It took a while, but he finally made it. (yeah I know, I should watch grownups movies, but those Pixar movies are just sooo good)

If I understand the page right (I dont read any foreign language), the assembled ones are $30. The kits are just over $10. Not sure how they can sell them for so cheap.
Randy
yeah, but anyone with two eyes would have just paid someone $10 to put the whole thing together for hum while he took celia out for a night on the town!
but thats just me 🙂
well, if they are only $30 assembled, im down with that. but only $10, and i have to burn my fingers? nah. btw, i dunno if i told any of you, but im very accident prone. i burn and cut my hands quite a bit. never anything serious, but ive been known to grab things and just hear a sizzling sound. im kinda used to it now. ill hold on to a tiny lead that im soldering until you can literally hear the skin burning. (im a very focused person when im working, hence my reason NOT wanting to put this thing together 😉 )
