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.

I too find it strange that it costs so much, the item comes on 60 day free
trial. So I order cable and have plenty of time to play with it.


If I like the cable, I will keep it.

I am not sure how the cable is attenuated, its done I think in the phono
plug.... they say.........................


"We can attenuate KIMBER and Russ Andrews interconnects, using special
components inside the phono plugs to reduce the output level of your CD,
SACD, or DVD player. This stops the amplifier overloading, giving a
smoother, sweeter and more three dimensional sound without any side effects.
To check which level of attenuation is best for your system, consult our
attenuation guide. "

If I like the cable, I just look at the total cost which is
£113, which I am happy to spend on a cable, each to his own budget.
