@atomicbob - I know you're doing a lot of measurements, and wonder if you have experience with attenuators such as the ones @Wes S found (post # 1846) ?
Do you think, from your experience, that these 12.24 dB attenuation plugs would change the sound? In other words, for people like me who do NOT have golden ears - would I hear any drop in sound quality if I use these between my DAC and the LP?Harrison Labs 12 dB attenuator comprises the following based on data available from the internet:
That is as simple as it gets. Attenuation is actually 12.24 dB.
If Nobsound would actually change the NS-05P from a 50K Alps to a 10K Alps pot, that would be the better solution. I had seen the spec change on Amazon from 50K to 10K a short while ago and acquired another one only to find present stock still has 50K pots. They are probably waiting to flush the backstock before making a change. I note spec has since been returned to 50K on Amazon.
anyone using Schiit Saga with LP?
i would love to know this, too.Do you think, from your experience, that these 12.24 dB attenuation plugs would change the sound? In other words, for people like me who do NOT have golden ears - would I hear any drop in sound quality if I use these between my DAC and the LP?
All I want is more usable volume range from my LP volume knob, without screwing up my source quality in a noticeable way...

Please look at the blue line in the 12 dB attenuation graph in this post:i would love to know this, too.
Thanks as always for the info! I might give these a try, as i dont need much more range with pot. I actually have pair in hand, as well as Blue Jeans LC-1 in 1ft length, and may give them a try soon.Please look at the blue line in the 12 dB attenuation graph in this post:

With 2 feet of a low capacitance cable, Belden 1800F, high frequency roll-off was less than 0.125 dB at 20 KHz. Use Blue Jeans LC-1 or AudioBlast HQ-1 cables for single ended connections.
Is that a scientific way to say: "No audible change to sound at least up to 20KHz" ?With 2 feet of a low capacitance cable, Belden 1800F, high frequency roll-off was less than 0.125 dB at 20 KHz.
I guess manufacturer suggest burn in of amp for tube used to be properly burned in. If you buy any good NOS tube they would suggest something like 100 hrs and up of burning in.Burn in....
Was reading the manual for the LP and it says after around 100 hours of play the sound characteristics of the amp will settle in.
Are any of you able to describe how the sound of LP changes during and after burn in? Very curious on what direction my LP is heading in while I put in the hours.
There is one sold by Garage1217 as wellDoes anyone know if these would work? I know they are not adjustable, but could be enough?

I read the reviews and they sound like what we are after. . .to get better range on the volume pot.
Cool, but it is single ended.There is one sold by Garage1217 as well

I wonder whether it is better to use the 1/4" attenuation at the amp out, or RCAs at the amp in...There is one sold by Garage1217 as well
