I know that many DIY'ers have built their own pre-amps that do not have remote control capability like the many commercial products out there on the market.

I stumbled on an eBay offering who's time has come -- check it out:

Interesting that you can use 4 pots for balanced inputs. There are some other solutions out there that also allow remote switching of the inputs.

I used a similar product a few years back. Works well. Used a 4-gang Alps motorized pot. Paralleled sections to net a 25k pot, but with two wipers per channel.

The one posted should be excellent for a simpler build.

Nice! Pre-amp remote control is NOT a luxury! It is a necessity! Again nice!

My preamp has a remote, and I almost never use it....

You really should. Without a preamp, well music just ain't as enjoyable!

I get a giggle when I hear Vinyl guys say remote control for a preamp is a must. (not singling you out Walt!!)

I am 100% digital music guy. I never have to get up from my chair to change the music and never cared about the remote volume control.
