I don't 'bloody' know I haven't thought it through yet. My system and funds don't allow for expensive switches as you use, so the basic ones as used by NVA in the cheaper preamp should do me well (the Tisbury types are ok for me for example and I'm still using them). Rather than fork out a ton, I'm hoping to save some dosh if I do it myself, that's all and obviously, the other amps I use may or may not like a shunt type pot.


By the way and on a completely different tack, a VERY good CD for judging amps and 'stuff,' could be 'Some Great Reward,' by Depeche Mode. I played this at lunchtime and was more than a bit taken aback...
