wanted - Rothwell attenuators
Rothwell attenuators with 10 dB loss will not be sufficient in most cases. See the thread "DIY Attenuation Adapters for CDPs" in the DIY section. https://www.audio-forums.com/as-rediect/showthread.php?t=1461 Get a better attenuator at farction of the price for Rothwells.
I got some XLR balanced attenuators from Rothwell and stuck them between my pre and power. Made just the difference I was looking for. Cost about £70 though Michael.
I attenuated some balanced cables, did the trick nicely. Cost - c. 50p for the resistors, a penny worth of solder and electricity. vs. £70 for Rothwells, gotta be worth a try at least!
