Two Mono Attenuators VS One Stereo Attenuator


I'm getting to build a preamp and I need advise.Would there be any benefit to using 2 mono attenuators instead of a stereo attenuator.What would be the pros and cons of each.What are the best brands of attenuators.Is it best to use stepped or smooth.Thanks

The best is stepped - a precisely resistor network - but without knowing your budget or goals it is hard to say.
The best may depend on your applications...do you want to contorl everythig with softwatre for example?

2 mono attenuators will make it difficult to level match - better to get a precision device.
