Hi DIYers,
Off late, while listening to music with a wide dynamic range (e.g., Tamil music)... i find myself reaching for the remote to adjust the volume.
So... what are the options and possibilities to retrofit a DIY pre amp with a remote volume control? (digital, relay based, or motorized)... will I be introducing potential "noise" in the signal chain, by incorporating this "luxury" item? Am I better off not doing it?
I hate to add another component to my very minimalist 2 ch. rig just for the sake of saving a few steps from the chair to the amp but, yes... I really am that lazy when I'm "in the groove" with my music.
For me the ideal listening volume changes from recording to recording... even from track to track, and often lies in a surprisingly tight range. Finding that volume is next to impossible without remote volume control.
Thanks very much for reading... some good leads and ideas, from knowledgeable heads... much appreciated!
