Inductive Volume Controls...

Thanks and props to Bench for the term inductive volume control. It is the only one that perfectly describes the operation of both autoformer and transformer volume controls. See the posts at Intact about one of the many merits of autoformers over transformers - vastly superior current delivery... "drive", if you will... autoformers are always the choice if you don't need galvanic isolation... (and in a home audio system, you shouldn't!)



Along those lines, I finally updated the Passive Aggressive page with pictures of a few passives I built last fall... a remote version is about 75% complete.... and in a more modern chassis size.. so we can sneak a line level crossover under the hood...
