rothwell attenuators..effect on sound?

i am considering getting a pair of these and using them between my integrated amp and cd player to reduce some excess gain. i did read that they will cut volume output by 10db which is why i may buy them. but will using these change the sound quality at all? i did read one professional review that stated cd's sounded softer and less "digital" sounding, which was good for bright recordings, not so good for others. does his observations match the opinion of others here who have used them? thanks for your input.

regards,
Paul

thanks for the input guys. i thought initially that i would buy a cd player with volume control to get around this excess gain issue. but now i am considering in-line rca attenuators if i buy a cd player with a fixed output level. looks like i have more options, a beautiful thing!

broussard, i did notice those goldenjacks on e-bay. if i remember right, he has -14db pairs. does he charge more for those?
