Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?

Are there passive attenuators that don’t zero volume and only offer one input ?

The op wants a passive pre with one input, that doesn’t go to zero, all the ones mentioned above do zero the volume.
As far as I know only the Lightspeed at minimum volume still has a small amount of output, as Light Dependent Resistors (ldr) can’t attain absolute zero impedance.

What is the benefit of a passive attenuator that "don't zero volume"?
Is there some sonic or operational benefit?  What am I missing?
Just curious.

I don’t know either, maybe a safety factor against accidently leaving things running, works for me sometimes when I’ve had a few too many🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Cheers George

I think you can have one made from here:

I have heard George’s Lightspeed Attenuator, and I have to say, it is the most " invisible ", that I have heard ( or actually, not heard ). I require multiple inputs, and enjoy remote volume, which are reasons I do not use one. I personally never liked TVC units myself.
