If you go to www.goldpt.com you will find on page two very detailed explanations about the pros and cons of the resistor types series, ladder stepped and shunt attenuators.In my opinion the ladder stepped type[although more expensive would be the choice]you then get to choose the value and type of resistor also the make of switch.[Vishay and Shallco for me] You could always think about variable transformer tapped types also there are two basic types the auto transformer type such as the sonic euphoria and the switched output tap types like the silver rock and the bent audio there is a massive range of choices and all affect the sound.Among the nicest guys selling all choices of attenuators are Kevin Carter of K+K audio and John Chapman of Bent audio either of these guys will put you on the right track.
Attenuator recommendations
Hi, I am having some issues with either my cdp output level (6 vrms) or amp input sensitvity. Either way, I think I need to get an inline attenuator. I would prefer to get the very best attenuator available that does not degrade the signal in any way. I am absolutely new to this so I would appreciate any feedback. By the way, I need XLR and RCA.
Thank you...
