In Reply to: RE: Let me rephrase this attenuator question posted by Lew on February 4, 2016 at 07:29:51:
Right now I am using a Radioshack 1/4 watt metal film 10k resistor. Pretty transparent and not a bad little resistor!
When i up the value of the line resistor it does have a positive effect on making the shunt have smaller db increments. Lower the value and the db increments get too narrow for the volume control to be of any good use - ie, twitchy.
All in all it does work quite well. Like I said I use it for a narrow volume range and it does fit my needs. Now I should use the best most transparent resistor I can find.
I was looking at the Vishay lines but which one would be best?
