Thanks RGA
After reading your sugestion I did a little more investigation. Switching the inputs from my CD3.1x the problem remains the same. If I switch the pre-amp outputs the right speaker will come up first. The left output being the first to come up. This indicates the inbalance is in the preamp output.
The problem is not an issue with my DVD player as I need to turn the volume up more for a eqivalent volume as to the CD player. I understand the output of the CD3.1x is relatively high. My speakers are AN-Es so being a high efficiency design they dont need much power. My Amps are the older high gain versions. All of these characteristics exagerate my problem as I am using very little volume control to get high volume levels.
lol My equipment is too efficient!

I like the idea of the stepped control. Im going to have to check dimensions and see if it all will work out.

My apologies if this got off topic for the kit forum. I figured if anyone would know a solution it would be the people in here.

Thanks again.

ps If anyone can suggest the proper ohm rating for an attenuator Id be appreciative.
