How did you like the overal range of volume with that attenuator?

the attenuator is one of the 100k versions, and operates just like a regular volume pot, with the same volume range.
crank it to the left, and you can't hear anything; crank it to the right and it goes to 11. if you check the resistance at full volume, there was little or no resistance between the in and out tabs, indicating full volume, just like a pot.
the 23 clicks were at good intervals, and close enough together that you weren't looking for a step in between two steps to be at a comfortable listening volume.
hope that helped.

    The Hong Kong ladder "stepper" that I have, has -3 dB at "max" volume, it is wired so that position 24 (if it had one) would be straight through. Min volume setting is -60 dB. (100K / 100 ohms)
