@georgehifi, on a pot the middle tab is the wiper or output if I understand correctly and if I understand you correctly this is positive. Based on the physical layout the positives of each switch are connected with a red wire and then there is a red wire from one of the switches to the board.
Well I installed the stepped attenuators using the same method. I believe I hooked up the other wires correctly as well, but here is my issue. With the original pots the Lightspeed never fully attenuated the sound, the pots in full counter clockwise positions still resulted in some low level sound coming from the speaker. I get the same result with the stepped attenuators, only the sound is much louder, in fact I could just listen to the music without moving the switch clockwise. If I do move the switch clockwise the volume does increase, but not very dramatically. In full clockwise position the sound level is still reasonable.
Something is amiss. Any ideas?
