Iron Pumpkin is best of all options
Color me biased, heavily
glance of flavor can be taken if going Iron Pre route, with decent attenuator
anyhow, line up of my choices, per quality:
- inductive attenuator (AVC), properly buffered
- relay switched resistor matrix, properly buffered
- conductive plastic based (as that, that's always pro-quality) "classical" pot, both rotary or linear shape, properly buffered
- LDR, properly buffered, but made in modern way, heavy u-proc support
- Muses and similar, without using integral OP, , properly buffered

take Iron Pre from Store, 10K ALPS pot and enjoy
instead of ALPS pot, buy 300$ AVC from Intact Audio and place instead of output Cinemag autoformer
that's going in direction of Iron Pumpkin, for cheap
if eager for more, save for Iron Pumpkin ........
"arm and leg" .......... there are sorta expensive gadgets where entire sum paid for, isn't much more than Fool's Taxes
and there are sorta expensive gadgets where every penny is properly spent
go figure in which category I'm putting Iron Pumpkin ..... just counting on assembly hours for each kit, I'm working for Peanuts
lucky that I like what I'm doing

Ok thanks. I don’t use balanced until last cable transport to amps 12-14 m away so SE is my cup of tea. I don’t really need gain either from digital sources. From RIAAs I can sometimes need a little bit but I think it’s better to make them in line with todays digital sources levels.
So In the diya store, I buy the kit with the cinemags and toss them for the avcs?
