2 -10 kohm !!
/If the middle pin of 100 k is on down side - low volume - 5-10 kohm,
input signal across from the up side - 90 kohm, and there is big resistance
for MF and HF for input signal, and small input current doesn't enouht
for input capac. of input tube, and there is decrease of HF/ /sorry for bad English!/.
 
I was originally going to use the PEC pot mentioned above for my Simple but in a wonderfully boneheaded maneuver I didn't leave quite enough space for it (missed it by >< much) so I ended up using an Alps RK27 pot. Seems to be working just fine. Of course knowing now just how sweet this amp sounds I might have sprung for something a bit nicer. I recently saw that Headamp (a manufacturer of solid state and electrostatic headphone amplifiers) started offering some of the parts that they use for sale to the DIY community. I've used the DACT attenuators that he sells and they are superb and the RCA jacks are also very nice. The parts are listed here and I received my last order from him (RCAs) in a matter of days.
