atenuation should be done so that 100% volume corresponds to how loud you ever want to listen.
before i got my present speakers , I used inline atenuators before the poweramps except one of them had selectable selectivity ( wich i think all power amps should have ). This was a much better match for my preamp/processor . as you have a passive pot you could use it to tune in a suitable damping and then use the TP's volume . or a combination of both . potentiometers, they are not so linear in the low range channel tracking could be bad at that end, here a stepped solution could improve. This where jumper + digital volume is an improvement you would always have the same volume in rigth and left channel . with very good pots as the alps this is less obvius, better tolerances but at a price. -- Mnyb -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
