...but your "Buffered Volume Control" really does accurately sum it up!

It is a passive preamp followed by a buffer. There is nothing wrong with Corey Greenberg's article.

  -to quote the mages of the Firesign Theater.
  
  If its a passive control its not a preamp.
  
  Any preamp manufacturer could claim they make a passive control using your terminology.
  
  Whether the buffer afterwards has gain or not isn't so important, as the active circuit is there either way. The real question is how much damage is done.
  
  I think I like Tre's definitions better.
