As an insurance policy during unexpected events, yes, that is something they do. But it's not what they are "all about".
In a day-to-day listening situation, what attenuators are REALLY for is to optimise the gain structure of the system so that you don't have to use excessive digital attenuation at normal listening levels. Regular readers of these forums will know that I am something of an "evangelist" for ditching preamps and using the SB/TP digital volume control. But I take that stance ONLY if you get the gain structure correct. -- cliveb Transporter -> ATC SCM100A ------------------------------------------------------------------------ cliveb's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=348 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=41137 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
