This device basically uses various values of resistors in sequence to obtain a certain resistance value. In turn, this action produces various volume levels. It's the k.i.s.s. Another side benefit is that YOU may choose the manufacturer and quality of the resistors. Some of you lucky few can afford silver foil resistors with silver lead-out wires whereas others may be able to afford only the copper foil type.
Life IS goooood.
