Have you asked Wes @Tisbury about it?
No.
I haven't checked recently but the last time I did I didn't see any R/C versions. They are super smooth, and very silent in operation and should stay that way. They also aren't cheap. Two discounted monos like these wouldn't be too bad though, in an appropriate rating for your kit. I recommend you try them Jerry, FWIW.

A stereo version with an R/C geared motor driving it would work but that really would require more than Tisbury would accommodate without going to the drawing board. Gotta have R/C, me.
Seller reckons £550 RRP for these. DIYers not a bad deal here?
Penny and Giles make some superb pots - probably the best there are. They are used in my Mark Levinson preamps.
And would be much better to progress audio appreciation if it was recognized pots are not superb passing audio signals, always degrading audio quality. They are though quite useful passing DC current to a much better device.Quote:

From experience of using many different types of pots (although not those in question), I'd have to agree. No pot I've used is as accurate/uncoloured sounding as a high-quality stepped attenuator :)

Well, the Tissy has arrived.... Jeez, this little thing has no Goddamn right to sound so good!! :eek: :eek:
Anyone want to buy a Croft? Lol... Ok, it's not quite *that* good, but for £85, second-hand? Fooking ridiculously good is what it is..........! More later (after much music listening) :)
Marco.
Yup they do sound good although not tried the new one. mind you they only sound as good as what youve got it attached to;)
I thought it lacked impact in my system. Try playing something where the snare really hits you between the eyes and see if it softens that effect any.
No lack of impact here, dude, trust me - not in the slightest. The Copper amp is very sensitive (as are the Tannoys), and I'm using short, 0.5m (Klotz) interconnects.
It's as slammy as a very slammy thing! And oh so fast and dynamic, wide-open and transparent, not to mention effortlessly musical sounding. If I didn't have the Croft (and also needed its in-built phono stage), I could quite happily live with the Tissy as my main 'line controller' - yup, it's that good [no matter whether the Sony CDP is used or the RPi]! :cool:
Mind you, there's something a bit bonkers [IMO, in a good way] about using an £85 passive preamp with a £5k valve amp... :eyebrows:
