The Schiit Freya+ provides the ability for a user to switch between passive attentuation, buffered stage, and tube stage with gain with the push of a button/switch. Seems like a similar setup could be put together switching between a passive attentuator only, a buffer board, and a Korg board.
One friend suggested he prefers them in separate boxes because it give him a chance to play with combos of equipment more readily. I think the simplicity of them being in one box leaves me rack space.
Waste of time? Cool idea? Technical nightmare?

Geezer's advice : Keep one system tidy, user friendly and no often changes - for your Wife;
with second (or rest of them) - go wild

That had crossed my mind. 😉 The challenge for people with brains like me is componentry that doesn't match. It kinda makes me nuts. Having the opportunity to build a collection of components all built from the same manufacturer of cases makes for a good looking system in my eyeballs.
Everybody has their weird "wishes" when it comes to their systems. I guess that one is mine. First-world problem to be sure. 😎

Years ago the Aleph L had a volume control which was passive up to the point
where actual gain was needed, and then active at settings above that. At that
point, the input source was directly connected to the output.
It was a feature that did not seem to be appreciated at the time.

A very creative design. Is there a reference I might peruse? The idea of a passive/active handoff has my brain doing loops.

some interior pics of Aleph L here:

looks like a nice 21-stepped attenuator!

Cornerstone 🙂
though, I prefer to have out side of my volume pot at least buffered, if I can't avoid pot at all
said Mighty ZM, having two small boxes in workshop..... one of them in everyday's use, voluming Papa's Koan
(in one is ultrarare 250KLin Black Beauty, shunted to 23KLog while in other one is wakoo expensive 4-track TKD, 10KLog)

I haven’t stepped into AVC/TVC territory yet. On my list though, especially after a recent demo 😀
