Herman, Tvad, Phd, et al,
In a given system any active preamp of equal quality can be connected with good to excellent results.
With a passive attenuator there are many things to consider including:
1. What source will you use?
2. What speakers will you use?
3. What is the speaker impedance?
4. What is the speaker efficiency?
5. How loud do you listen?
6. How far do you sit from your speakers?
And the list goes on.
