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...

Guy at Placette can make you some plug in attenuators with a single Vishay so no loss of clarity/imaging will occur. You just need to determine how much you want the cut. 10dB?
Tonyptony: Thanks for asking for clarification, I've had too much espresso today.

I had one of Guy's Excellent Placette Active Preamps but it was impedance mismatched with my high sensitivity Lamm M1.1 amps. He suggested either adding his dual control volumn or just simply plugging in some 10dB shunts he would build for me. It might have been two Vishay, but his point was that this would be a very clean way to address the issue without modding either component.

There is a reason I just listen to the stuff and don't design it.
