Romy, have you had any experience with Autoformer VC's? From what I can tell they could work quite well at the output of a preamp driving the DSET's, mainly because they lower the output impedance of the preamp as they attenuate rather than staying high like a shunt switched attenuator. It seems that in this particular situation that an AVC is the only real option apart from a 350R or lower shunt switched attenuator, which I do not find realistic.
Otherwise, I think that the VC will have to go at the input of the preamp and there are plenty of types that are suitable there, but I have a tendency to want to attenuate the large signal at the back end of the pre rather than at the smaller signal at the input.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
