Much more stable than switched-resistor controls or potentiometers.

And balanced operation is easy if desired, since it is inherently available
in the design.

Jeffrey, that is a nice looking product. I might have some ideas to add.
When I saw this thread today I first thought 'use TVC', then saw rwk
mentioned it as well. One thing though about the transformers
(or autoformers if you prefer) -- all the ones I have seen
(Intact, S&B, Promitheus, Sowter, etc.) are too big to fit into a 1RU chassis.
For my needs, I would actually prefer 2U anyway, to allow more room for some
additional switches I would like to see, more on that later when I get a chance.
