Why not just use the outboard unit from Creek? You can even put it in the tape monitor loop and bypass it when the mood strikes. The box is very, very small and unobtursive. It will add a set of interconnects, but it will retain the value of the amp for future sale.
Retrofit remote volume to integrated tube?
How difficult would it be to retrofit a non-remote controlled integrated amp with a motorized volume control? I want to say that there is ample room to house the parts and I can remove the LED in favor of the IR receiver "eye".
Will I be introducing potential "noise" by incorporating this "luxury" item? Am I better off finding a decent pre with remote?
I hate to add another component to my very minimalist 2 ch. tube rig just for the sake of saving a few steps from the sofa to the amp but, yes, I really am that lazy when I'm "in the groove" with my music.
TIA for any ideas and/or suggestions!
Happy Holidays!
