I want to transcribe my LP's, tapes etc to CD. The problem is that
the only output from my old tape/record/tuner box is the
loudspeaker leads. I believe that these will not match the Line In
on my PC I think the signal may be too great and that it needs
attenuating. Am I right? Can this be done and how precisely may I
achieve this. I have no problem using a soldering iron
Many thanks

Maplins sell a small in-line variable attenuator (~#3) designed for
stereo headphone usage. I've got one sitting between my amp's output
and my PC's soundcard - it's allowed me to set the PC's input
attenuators round about 3/4 full scale, instead of being close to
1/10 FS where the slightest nudge is problematic.

I don't suppose you have a reference for this, When I put "attenuator"
into their web site search box all I get are a couple of TV attenuators
