I've started using the Rothwell RCA attenuators recently (a custom order which I've measured at 5.5db attenuation).
Just to add a bit of balance (or be difficult) I'm going to disagree with some others' opinions and say they sound fine. Before anyone throws my words back at me, no I haven't done a blind test :-) Of course I believe these gizmos are giving me some extra dynamic range in a particular set up that would benefit from it, and I expect the distortion from a passive resistor of adequate quality to be insignificant. Such preconceptions might make me biased. But perhaps others are biased too if they expect degradation? :-) Of course it depends on whether your system needs it or not, resolution of components, my deafness etc...so YMMV. If my long term impressions change I will of course post.
