Hi there!
Just accidentally found a picture of a Mark Levinson ML-1, and admired it for the overall clarity inside and out. (especially noteworthy the labeling on the top-cover!)
But I'd like to ask about two other things:
- The balance-controls are two separate attenuators, going from off, -4dB to +5dB, with a funny looking PCB behind it. It looks like a quite simple shunt-attenuator or something similar, but... is this (attenuator-board) known ?
- On some resistors, ferrite-beads are around their legs. Is that a useful detail, or just another extravaganza?
