Actually, no :-)  I weigh everything in baking, I don't do
volumes...  But...  Given that cream is nominally the same weight as water
(ok, it's not, but for this purpose it works well enough), you can use
volume as weight.  Of course, I'm talking metric here...  Soooo, I'd get
something like:

1Kg of chocolate
1 Liter of cream
100 grams of butter.

Sounds like a plan.  Do remember that different chocolate will change the
texture some, so you might get a great result and then find out that the
other chocolate doesn't behave exactly the same way
