Comparison of a few inline attenuators




1. Harrison Labs: Sounds bright, hard. Smeared soundstage. Compressed and poor low level details. Basically throw away SQ.

2. DIY Belden: Sounds very natural. Good soundstage and low level details. For general usage.

3. DIY CAT5: Very musical and smooth. Very good low level details. Very good soundstage. Can be used to tame a slightly bright system

If you are listening at 12 or 2 o'clock, you are fine. But if you are listening at 9 o'clock, the signal may be too hot. You may need an attenuator. Inline attenuator is very convenient. But a cheap one can easily destroy SQ.
