However the series aspect of multiple resitors has should be considered. Number of resitors x number of leads - solder...etc
If you are at lower level setting, the signal passes through even more resistors.

the main culprit for loss of dynamics i.e. capacitance in grids of tubes, in gates for mosfets and junctions of transistors and even capacitance along the signal path.

Would you havean idea as a good target.....how many picoF per foot
Also, as food for thought, back in the late 70's we used analog rotary phones, which has no amplifying device just a dynamic speaker and carbon mic (the carbon mic eats 0.3mA at -48V exciting a 600 ohm linestage). It runs 10 to 20 Kms from my house in cebu to the city telephone exchange. Speech run two ways (duplex) through twisted quadruple wires (two twisted pairs braided together). I can not remember any loss in dynamics and speech is damn clear and detailed. That my friends is the ultimate interconnect. Would you agree?
For Sir JM:
On another note. If your only given a choice between the 100k TKD SERIES attenuator (w/ max atten. of 85dB and up) and an 100k Alps Black Beauty what would you use for a simple 3 stage SET?
And BTW, what's your peronal take on TVC's w/ primary and secondary windings (NOT Autoformer ala variac)?
Hey. Sorry folks, I'm getting confused. What's the diff between a TVC and an autoformer?

I can only answer the basic main difference. An autofromer TVC only has a single winding. S&B's TVC has two separate windings (a primary and a secondary) AFAIK. Other than that, I am an ignuramus on the topic
