    Yeah the -14db ones I used were Goldenjacks ones and they were much better than the other type which I also owned at the time as they were only -10db and that was nowhere near enough for the Croft.

    I'll have to check. Maybe they are 14dB. All I know is they were the standard value and not a special order.

    I demoed some Rothwells (-10db) and just couldn't justify the cost. Tbh I was only worried that having two mis-matched components could be damaging one or the other.

    As I mentioned, since turning off the pre amp section in my M-dac and just using the analogue volume on the amp, the sound seems a lot more engaging, so as long as nothing bads happening I'm happy to leave it like this for now. Plus the amp has a -20db mode on it.

    I had excess gain with a croft and attenuators worked a treat, even better audio flair reduced the gain for me but the principle is the same but without compromise.

    +1 on Goldenjacks over Rothwell, essentially the same product at half the price with none of that 'hi-fi jewery' crap to justify overpriced rothwells. Iain fromGoldenjacks is also a pleasure to deal with.
