Are there passive attenuators that don't zero volume and only offer one input ?


I am not sure how many people would like those features, but its worth asking in case someone would try to sell such a thing.

Which is to say it is essential I should think  to be able to zero volume, and have more than one input, do you agree ?

There’s only one reason he is here, to promote snake oil he makes.

Chris Daley? JAVA ldr passive preamplifier $3.5K!!!!!!

dbxrecord OP (aka Chris Daly)
I have no association with either name, please stick to the subject rather than libel.
How’s that for a outright lie!! How does he live with himself? Chris! you are certifiable.

From his Stereo Coffee website contact info https://ibb.co/hDwKkVV
and him preaching his snake oil at the NZ coffee shop Java ldr release. https://ibb.co/yqH11rj

Chris Daly has been criticize by some very knowledgeable electronic designers on many forums for his BS trying to get sales from the gullible, he’s even tried to claim the Lightspeed Attentuator, it’s about time he disappeared.

Cheers George

If you choose to spell my name wrongly, I have no obligation to agree to that mistake, I would expect you to do the same, not acknowledge your name being spelt wrongly - as would anyone.

Please once again,  stick to the subject. If you have nothing to contribute then don't contribute.

I can say, all my passive attenuators are able to zero volume, and I enjoy  6 contact less stereo inputs , that is if you need any further reminding of what the thread is about.  Just this morning I enjoyed radio on one input, then switched to a jazz CD, and to a hard disc recorder for some Pink Floyd, I did not have to change cables at all.


Just had a look @ OP Stereo Coffee LDR attenuator @ 
Stereo Coffee Passive LDR Preamplifier (wixsite.com)

Why an A/C supply when a DC wallwart would keep all hum outtadabox?

PCB looks like something a kid would have designed 40 years ago.

TRIM POTS?!?!?!? WTF? Trim pots are the bane of high fidelity.

"However, the real magic of the 2020 StereoCoffee is what happens after 40 to 50 minutes playing music."

If a passive is changing, it's not passive. The whole point, at least for me for 40+ years, is PASSIVES DO NOT CHANGE!!!

He a shyster ieales, and known all over other forums
All you have to do is see how he disowned his own name and product, in the proof I posted up.

This was the best one he tried to sell on ebay and diyaudio he called a "Pass Transistor opamps" https://ibb.co/Db3yj9s see the little smd transistor squashed under the opamp with the "snake oil" he tried on
