Wrong place for that discussion, I think. :giggle:www.diyaudio.com/community/threads/help-with-w-one-ladder-relay-attenuator-remote-control.427834/#post-8028818

Patrick Turner (RIP) had circuit schematics for this very purpose on his website. The complete mirror site is here https://atrad-audio.co.nz/turneraudio/www.turneraudio.com.au/index.html there are several examples under various projects.

Found your creation in your fourth link, nice. Can you suggest a substitute for those Toshiba drivers, another out of production years ago mosfet.
If the half rail voltage does not exceed 40V, perhaps 2SK170 for the input LTP might give you more SNR ?
Or 2x 2SK209 in parallel which are rated at 50V.
BTW, R9 in the first schematics (R17 on KiCAD) will see 136W at power on.
I hope it can survive on the long term.

And if you would know of a simple, reliable method of filtering a 3V DC superimposed on a 100Vpp 40Hz sine wave in ms, I would be most interested as well.
Even MCU based solutions are still using the same analogue RC filter for the purpose.

Hey Patrick, so you don't like any of the current commercial made HF lens?
Or is just the pleasure to design something that nobody have ;)
Like a designer custom made suit 😎
R15 and 31 are indeed 0r.
Patrick quite possibly not. I am taking regulated 12v from the Salas In select and using 317 to drop to 7v. The trafo for all that isn't particularly big and it is obviously also doing the relays on the input board.
Do I GND the encoder board using the standoff...
As far as I can tell, the device in post #2 is E grade.
And they are in the US.
Of course one can also use a matched pair of 2SK223E/F if space allows.

Thanks Patrick. The tube cad stuff is always good. The ones I built had a servo exactly like he shows.
No particular use for them yet.
Nice headphone project.
