Can a preamp's gain be lowered?

I'd like to lower the gain of an AE-3 DJH preamp to something in the neighborhood of 10 dB. Is it possible to do this without adversely affecting the sound?

My ASL amps have an input sensitivity of 1.0 v. I want to have good volume control over low listening levels. I'm afraid any preamp with more than 10 dB will force me to stay under 9 o'clock on the volume knob.

The manufacturer or a modifier can do it internally/elegantly.

The Rothwells degraded the sound my system. They are available.

The Endler attenuators cost more, but the sound was much better in my system.
