Ah, ok. Thanks anyway.
 
And good luck with the Khozmo!

I bought a 100k stereo ladder type attenuator from khozmo. Here are some pictures:
 

 

 

 

 
The thing attached at the shaft is not included. I have attached it to allow the use of an extension shaft.

Can you describe the ordering and delivery process from start to finish and how long it took?

AFAIK, Parts Connexion is going to stock the Khozmo so they might have some on hands.

 

[les_garten]

That will be great.  Nice to have a nice 48 position stepper.
 
Maybe some more souls will order some of these and we can establish that they have become reliable.  Parts Connection should make them take off.

pcx is surely a nice place for boutique parts. Saved quite a lot of money on shipping when ordering from them.

 
32y0, looks like yours has different pcb from the one on their website:
 

 
I'd prefer the one with the Molex connector than having to solder underneath the board.
Also, do you know where they put the Caddock resistors?

Those look terrific, and that attenuator is beautiful!

I'll have to go check the pcx site - I'd be happy to order through them.

I don't know about the molex connectors, I just got it this way.
I'm also not sure about the Caddock resistors, maybe they only use it in the shunt types. The one I have is a ladder type, but it dissapeared from the website.

I have orderd and payed on August 27th.
After that I asked on September 1st what the status was. Arek told me he just finished it and had to test it, after that he would send it.
There was a little delay, so he sent the attenuator on September 6th. Five days later I received the package.

FYI, pcX now carries the Khozmo, only shunt version though. Nut and screw are also included.

I paypalled a shunt 50K quad on the 4th from khozmo, it shipped on the 7th, received here in Aus on the 22nd.
 
parts connexion doesn't carry the 50k quad.

 

[Lil' Knight]

I'd expect CONUS buyers will enjoy much faster shipping time from pcX. Anyone ordering one soon should take a look at a pair of Vishay nude Z-foil resistors that pcX also carry. I much prefer them to the Caddock that the stock Khozmo uses.
 
Why just stuck with the 50k?

I can't believe anybody infer that having rhodium connectors is even close to the importance of a good pot......

Every parts have it's own importance.
 
If you have speakers permitting bi-wire (2 terminals) and you don't using them bi-wired or bi-amp,  you have a jumper installed. Try just to bypass the stock jumper using your own cables as jumper. You will hear the difference. It's only 2 inch of cable and it's have an audible impact.

BTW, any advice for good analog or stepped attenuator (I want something very high-end).
I am using a simple ALPS in my passive preamp (analog one).
 
goldpoint is a good step-up from ALPS or something better ?
 
It's a simple stereo attenuator (10k). I don't want too much step ... 21 is more than enough for me.

 

[Lil' Knight]

Kinda strange to me. Hi-end but not many steps?
DACT is one good and popular choice which has the steps you need.

Yeah, I've heard the sorts of absolute crap you believe in before, pompon.
