Conductive plastic T-Pad attenuators

[HoneyBadger Audio]

Hello everyone

Would anyone be interested in some 600OHM t-pad attenuators? I have an order coming from the US and can offer some of these to the community.

Cheers & thanks

It should be Bourns T-pad, custom designed for Hairball Audio and Capi-Gear. These are the only official shops where you can buy them, but they're very expensive.

How much for a pair ? Do you also offer pcbs ?

By the way... Did you ever send me the LA2A pcb kit ?

I am a big fan and user of these Bourns unit but I know there are alternatives... so I'm asking

Hey man. These are not Bourns, we have a proprietary license with State electronics for the T-Pad design and will be offering them in our shop soon.

No prob ... but can you share more info regarding the build quality and pricing ? This is all a bit mysterious

They are State electronics pots. We have a bunch of them on order for our own units and I simply was thinking to post them up for sale here if anyone was interested. I know conductive plastic T-Pads were not that easy to find in Europe in the past. I could be mistaken, but this was my recollection.

Please share info, pictures and price so we know what we are talking about.
Thanks

I'll share the details when they come in so you can see what it is I'm talking about. This post was more to see if there was even interest in these parts in the community. Clearly, there is.

Did you ever have these made?
I could do with some.

Blore Edwards now has £150 minimum order now. Won't be using them again...

Interesting, CAPI and Hairball initially sold State T pads, then they got so expensive they moved on to Bourns. Vibe was State no longer wanted to make them. You can probably fnd an old post from CAPI that goes into detail.

Ah i see, i like the Capi ones just expensive to import etc..
I'm actually going to try a Dual 1K logs on the outputs before getting T-pads.

This is for an api 312 type circuit feeding mostly modern 10K inputs.

Hello sonicmess,

Do you still have T-PAD 600 ohms available for sale ?
I need 12 ( minimum )

Thanks,
