    I'm not recommending anything until I've done a few try-outs.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    Maybe, but how many of them had 0.375V input sensitivity?

    Hmm, probably none.

    Anyway. I decided a 500k pot was possibly too radical, so I've ordered a 250k one. I'll see how that shapes up when it gets here. If that works OK, I may order a stepped attenuator of the same value.

    Fair enough. I'll just order 50k then. What's the case with passive pre amps and Quad? Is 50k the norm?

    Is o.375v the same as 375mV ? I just want to let Arek know, in case he has no experience of Quad 306.

    Thinking of knocking the Khozmo on the head, I'm thinking its too revealing for my rather budget system. I really want something to take the edge off of that scratchy 60s beat/rock that I love.

    The 306 should take the edge off (it's mainly down to the carbon resistors in the signal path). I'd personally want to have the most transparent preamp I could get because that is often the weak link. Saying that, i'm perfectly happy with the Little Bear, so maybe transparency doesn't have to cost a fortune.

    I'm not familiar with your CDP but they can often give a digital sound (thin or a bit etched in the high frequencies). The Avondale Arcam CDP has quite a nice analogue sound.
