This would be a great addition to many current preamps with no remote volume feature or a tape loop!

Where is the "we" in all the commenting on this remote device ?

I don't recall Holt referring to his reviewing being done by a single person, he seemed like he was always referring to a vaguely defined group of We. Decades later I concluded Holt was using the Royal "We" descriptive term, the same descriptives used by British Sailers who refer to themselves in a plural sense. ( the sailor and his Ship )

In 1985 I was part of a Reviewing Group of Audiophiles, we evaluated gear as a booze drinking group of ( like minded ? ) debaters. I purchased Product Lines that our group collectively liked but buying and paying was always a singular action.

In 1985 I was not reading Stereophile, I was still a HFN&RR & Audio Mag. reader. Back then I ( we ) was/were selling TAS Mag over the counter at Esoteric Audio but doubting the validity of it's integrity. I still don't read TAS.

I advertised in Audio Magazine

Some years back, I was looking for one of these and my (soon-to-be) wife found one for me. I replaced the opamps, changed the filter caps and used it as a preamp in my office system.

Cute design: It used the precision resistors in a ladder DAC as the attenuator.
