Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?
No.Every contact, additional component and wire/trace affects the sound. Anything below -20dB is pointless with properly configured gain structure.Is it HiFi or sonic wallpaper?If it is contact less already on the signal path then you can have a...

@dbxrecords ....why not just disclose or post under your industry affiliation?If this thread is anything to go by, it is obvious a code of ethos is desperately needed.  Until then,  sorry but few would submit themselves to such abuse.  Let alone g...

You’ve been caught out sunshine, you want more posted up from diyaudio alsohttps://robmid42.wixsite.com/diyaudiokits/stereo-coffee-preamplifierAnd this is the "Chris Daly" famous opamp "pass transistor" con job, which you use as an avatar!!!! here...

Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?
I said."Why did you start this thread, if you know all the answers"Over and out!If you read the first post it asks a question.  Am i right in assuming you are you somehow totally OK,  with all passive preamps not being able to zero volume and offe... 
Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?
The S3 ’s are widely all over the place, almost impossible to get few "quad matched sets" to do a Lightspeed properly with close to zero volume low volume, unless they are forced matched with servo feedback arrangement and by over driving some ...

Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?
This is BS, do your own homework. The very best is the NSL32SR2S and is the most expensive, second is the NSL32SR2. The R3 is the cheap one and doesn’t go low enough in volume unless over powered/stressed and won’t last if done so.First off observ... 
Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?
True but it's not as pure a signal path. I have owned my LDR passive (Lightspeed) for over 10 years. I have also built/owned other resistor and transformer based passives. The simplicity of the Lightspeed and the ability for it to stay out of t... 
Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?
If you want to use LDR's , as I observe in other designs, they find it easy to both achieve silence at zero volume, and to also have as many inputs, as are required.    
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) ca... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
Hi LaceeIts in the detail you miss out, DBX type 1 (not type 2) is very relevant today, works wonderfully with CD sources.Quite correct on the description, however the post question is also wrong then.There is far more to the NSL32SR2s and feeding... 
Lightspeed Attenuator - Best Preamp Ever?
No its NOT, Same as a Ford Cortina is not the best car ever.feeding a pair of shunt and series LDR's from a fixed voltage then into a potentiometer with all the consequences of ridiculously low current and some trimpots at the other end when the p...
