This will do it.

It's a transformer-based design (presumably a variable auto-transformer,
like a Variac). A bit more expensive than a couple of 5-10 watt resistors,
but the extra flexibility is worth-while.



** Do NOT under any circumstances use this device.

It is a 100%, guaranteed amplifier DESTROYER !

Attenuators used with solid state hi-fi amplifiers must not be of the
auto-transformer type.

Seen the damage using them does, many times.

Think low frequency core saturation, very low DC resistance.

Bad news !!!
