Default Where to get attenuation

Have just been talking to Quad, I have this problem with the new Quad
II-forties. The answer is to but a lead with 11 db attenuation in it.

I have ordered one from Russ Andrews.

Hi

Unless you *want* (for other reasons...) to spend £113 on a phono cable, it
is not necessary purely from an attenuation point of view.

I find it fascinating that selecting the attenuated cable makes the price
jump from £88 to £113.

Twenty five quid is a hell of a lot of money for four 5 pence resistors...

To the original poster, anyone handy with a soldering iron could make you an
attenuated lead for less than £10.

Regards,

Steve
