Going down the rabbit hole of DIY-ish stereo passive preamps. Because of my room layout, I need (some kind of) balance control. I'm fine with using two Alps pots, for example. But would like to have remote. Best I've found is the latest Tortuga ePot.V3, and I'm sunk into the LDR 'debate' - not enjoying, but understand it's part of the territory. I think there's a SMD resistor option. But I'd be happy enuf with a pair of motorized Alps, controlled by one remote (or two merged into a universal remote). Seems like a kludgy workaround, so i'm wide open to suggestions. Are there options out that I'm missing? Or any other ideas/vendors/sources? Thanks!!
