I had that trans-pot and I sold it. It lost energy like a Yugo with a fuel system leak.
I then tried every passive attenuator out there-- regardless of price, and I finally got Tribute's trans-pot, and built my own box and wiring around it. Jay Fisher has this one and he loves it. It is very dynamic, has great dynamic shadings, and gets all levels and layers of the midrange out there very well.
I wanted more bandwidth for my own systems, and set about building a Ladder type out of Shallco 45 position switches, and then I built a L-Pad unit out of military-style wirewound pots with the same strict attention paid to low-loss wiring. I love the thing, and also the LADDER.
You can forget about losses and needing more gain with these the way I build them. You have gain and dynamics to burn because the losses are minimized before the amp sees the signal.
What's left of it after it goes thru the attenuator is-- in this case-- MOST of it!
