Thanks for the info MG.

And thanks for the welcome gentlemen.

I just setup my signature so all will know I am a manufacturer, that I have an affiliation, my company.

Cheers.

That's cool you added your sig, it's appreciated.  But so you know... There is no requirement to do that here on AudioNervosa... We don't have an 'FAQ'... We like freedom.  You could be plain ol' Steve if you want. 8)  There are no manufacturer forums here and I hope no ones holds their breath about anyone's products... So far we just tell it how we hear it... I really like the analysis and honesty of comments I've read here.

The only real rule we have is to stay out of truly dangerous topics like religion and politics... which was decided on day 1... and so far has been our only real rule.  Hope things continue like they are...

Sorry for the interruption... I just wanted to be clear this site isn't run like other forums you may enjoy. ;)  Back to your preamp discussion....

I really enjoy listening to music.

mgalusha,

As near as I can tell, the Goldpoint Mini V and the Dact are pretty much the same type control, except for the attenuation values at the 'bottom' of the range. They both use an ELMA switch..and seem to be 'series' type attenuators.

Anyway, IMO, once you use one of these...it's hard to go back to a traditional pot. Very precise controls. Absolutely love mine :)
