Ah, yes. Now we're talking!

Just make sure you have enough steps. I needed 48 which led me to the Khozmo but there are plenty of options. I'm sure Goldpoint do a 48 version

cheers,they do a 24 and a 47.

i presume its better to have too many steps than not enough?

More is better, you'll have better control over volume not only for quiet listening but smaller jumps when you increase it. This was the main reason I didn't buy Ali's Slagle as it only had 13 and was no good for quiet listening even at 1 on my system.

Yep. Fantastic Preamp that. I bought it in the end but the volume Steve's were too large as Mike says.

I used a 50k series. I was told be Alan and Rothwell that this is what they would fit. And have.

As for the Value, it's worth a second opinion as you are using valves. Hopefully a valve Guru will respond

whilst i wait i emailed goldpoint who said for valve most people use 50k or 100k,as i have 100k in there i should stick with that,so like for like.

Can't see that being bad advice. I use 50k and that's with valves or SS so yeah, go for it.
