Hey guys, I'm planning to build a new desktop amp and I got two quick questions.
1. Since I can control the volume on my PC/phone, is there really any point in putting a potentiometer in the amp? I know a big issue for amps is the quality of the potentiometer, so not having one would be best?
2. If I were to leave out the potentiometer, how would the wiring change? Would I need to have a resistor in place of the potentiometer going to ground, the input capacitor, and the resistor going to ground after the input capacitor?
Thanks.
