[QUOTE="2cvbloke, post: 884629, member: 199791"] I devised a solution to the loud output from the Cambridge Audio preamp, all it needed was a passive volume control between it's output and the Line-In of the PC's onboard sound, that way I can reduce the volume so that the Line-In isn't overloaded and can record at a decent non-overdriven level... :) What I used was a 10k Logarithmic Stereo potentiometer, basically a stereo volume control, doesn't need any other electronics (as far as I'm aware) but does help to fit it and associated wiring (for me, 4x RCA sockets, L&R In, L&R Out) inside a metal box to shield the wiring from any noise, which I've yet to do, only assembled it all as a proof-of-concept idea in the open, but it works, so now I need a metal case... :) And no I'm not going to use an Altoids tin... :-rofl2 [/QUOTE]
