The usual "trick" to "stop inductance" of wire wound resistors is the "old double-wound trick", like those offered by Mills:

(and I think it is much the same for capacitors, for that matter...)

Shallco makes acceptable attenuators, if this is what you are looking for:

I thought part of the "fun" of audio electronics is that any "element" in an active series/circuit is part of a "reactive element"...

How I love DIY!

Thanks Paul.

I get the feeling that when/if this DSET build gets across the line that I will have more energy for further refinement of the amplifiers than Romy did at the end of his endeavours.  Unfortunately I will not have the benefit of the "thousands of steps" that he has taken and the benefit of hindsight they afford so my efforts are likely to be more wayward than Romy's, but it will be interesting nonetheless.  I really don't want to DIY just for the sake of it...I want to get a good result and then be done with it...figuring out what I need to do to achieve an objective is the difficult part because of, as you say, the "reactive" nature of audio electronics and their interplay with what comes out of the speakers.

Cheers,

Anthony
