Single Channel Attenuator

I'm looking for a single channel, single ended, passive attenuator. I could build one, but would prefer to just buy it. I would like the cost to be low, under $100. This does not need to be audiophile grade but it can't be of poor quality either. It is being used to set a level for some basic acoustical measurements. Any ideas or products or companies that may have such a device would be helpful.

RadioSnack ones to my belief has no application whatsoever and never last even a day or two before you start hearing the fried bacon out of them.
For a true budget high quality ones you should visit www.mouser.com Please note that from their catalogue you can have a greater choice rathrer than ordering from the internet.

You can go to SamAsh music stor and get guitar attenuators.
Gibson might be expencive but I don't think over $100. I know they work great on DIY audio gear as well.

Agree on that Eldartford, I too use RS pots to determine the right value of the resistor and than replace it with the high quality one...
