Re: Unsure on what this person is actually selling
I have the same vague sort of memory as Tomasz, in that it was actually building a pre with a remote that persuaded Richard that he would never build any more. I might be totally wrong of course. This looks like its just an NVA case with a remote-controlled motorised pot in it though.

Richard never mentioned a remote control on the forum, ever.

Re: Unsure on what this person is actually selling
I seem to remember RD said that he would build them for, for example, people who were disabled and couldn't keep getting up to adjust the volume etc..

Re: Unsure on what this person is actually selling
I remember Richard's comments on LDRs for the purpose and his comment that they would be illegal due to the Cadmium content. Otherwise he was not in favour of remote controls. I can't see that a motorised potentiometer would be a good idea; the motor would be noisy, electrically and mechanically, and the resolution wouldn't be good without a gearbox. We have to trust Tomasz on this I think.

Re: Unsure on what this person is actually selling
Yep - I think we could find a number of RDs posts telling us how the remote ferked up the sound.savvypaul wrote: ↑Fri Feb 21, 2020 11:45 am Tomasz does recall RD saying that someone once twisted his arm (and crossed his palm with silver) to build a remote control. He didn't like the result and vowed never to do it again, but the customer was happy. Can't say, for sure, if it's this one. Tomasz recalls it as an integrated amp, but he could be mistaken.
