Attenuator

[Stryder5]

Well assuming the CD player has a low source impedance (most likely to be < 100R), and the line-level input of your preamp presents a typical load impedance of 10k, then with a 6k8 series resistor and 4k7 shunt resistor your L-pad attenuator will offer an attenuation of 9.9dB, so the values suggested are quite correct.

Many thanks for your input, I wasn't trying to be evasive to your questions but this was over my head.

Now....where can I get the above value resistors? Any ideas?

Tried looking in all sorts of places, but to no avail.
