Hi Romy, I see here that you are of the mind that putting the attenuator AFTER the gain stage has negative consequences for the sound. I agree totally with this and had a discussion with Charles Hansen regarding this as well that the attenuator should go BEFORE the gain stage(s) so that the output of the preamp is unfettered. I think it may have negative consequences with regard to then driving the cable properly, what do you think? However; if you put the attenuator right at the input of the amplifier, ie. AFTER the cable, then maybe the effect is far less detrimental to the sound.
Cheers,
