I recently built these after hearing Redboys TVC's a while back.
The sound is outstanding, better than any passive volume control I have ever heard by a wide margine.
On the site http://www.intactaudio.com/atten.html top of the page you'll see the basic kit for $350 which I purchased.
I found a couple of Black ABS boxes on Digikey, knobs I already had. Switches are gold over silver contacts and were $75/pair. RCA jacks were from Parts Express and are of very good quality. The footers are from Maple Shade and are solid brass with black powder coated paint these were $160 for the six footers http://shop.mapleshadestore.com/Brass-Surefeet-With-Black-Finish-set-of-3-/productinfo/SFSET-BL/ They give a lot of mass and make the boxes feel like battleships.
I wired the TVC's with CAT5 wire 24AWG and have no complaints with the CAT5 sound quality.
They are very easy to demonstrate their sound quality as I did here http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/in...e-slagles-transformer-volume-controls.701044/
All I can say is I'll never listen to anything with conventional pot volumes or for that matter resistor step attenators and they are damaging to the sound.
So one can use these TVC's as they are called with any preamplifier or integrated amplifier. If you do it will be like hearing the full potential of your amplification like you have never heard before.
I am currently using these with a $500 Marantz PM5005 2ch Integrated Amplifier and its as though the Marantz should cost thousands not hundreds of dollars as it is able to do things that no $500 amplifier has done for me before.
