I’m considering having a passive pre made for me, and I’m pondering what sort of attenuator to use. I have one at the moment that uses a little Valab attenuator, and it sounds very good indeed. The box is very flexible though, and it’s very easy to move the RCA sockets by accident.
The builder has suggested so far either a Dale stepped attenuator, or a Khozmo unit. The Dale is £30 and the Khozmo £160. I’m wondering what else I could look at, is the Khozmo really worth coughing for, or is there anything else to choose from? I’ve seen the Glasshouse ones, they come in the middle somewhere, are they worth considering? I’m not convinced the Dale wouldn’t be a downgrade on the Valab, I could get another Valab, but maybe there’s something better out there! Could the same be a bit boring!?
