Power supply, remote handset and a motorized pot may get you all thinking.
A single pair of IC's and a clear view with the binding posts showing resistors across them might help a bit. FWIW.... the value of the motorized alps is 10K and only two terminals are being used. Those two terminals are connected (4 terminals total) and in parallel with the 4 terminals of the binding posts and the 4 terminals of the RCA's
so what the hell is this thing for?
OK.... Edit after 4 comments. Martin G nailed what it is but my intended application is still the mystery. the Key factor is adjustability from the listening chair. In many instances it wouldbe used with these.

It's a relativity condenser!
ReplyDeleteThat my friend is a reality distortion machine, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteBring it to CAF and we can try it out after a few :)
Used to provide variable resistance to a circuit from your listening position? When you find the sound you like you measure the resistance at the setting and use that value in the circuit. I like the idea. Trying to think where it might be practical. Although I suppose everything doesn't have to be practical, does it? :)

ReplyDeleteWell if it isn't for seat position remote control of cartridge/SUT loading then it certainly should be. What did I win?
