The CV init trimmer should be able to trim it to a minimum level. Getting "perfect" silence is unlikely with any VCA. Failing to match the BC548s would probably cause your problem.

I've constructed the cgs 64 VCA.
The thing is that an audio signal in the input can not be gain zero. I adjusted the CV INIT trimmer but the signal doesn't disappear. I could more or less perfectly eliminate the CV signal in the CV input by adjusting the trimmers, following the set up instruction.
One thing I haven't done is that I used unmatched 548s, but don't really know how much it affects to.
I've used a 2SC 2559 for the Dual transistor.
It would be very helpful if anyone could give me a clue.
Thank you very much.
