Fixed attenuator for balance control?

[phatfish]

Thank you hmbscott and PB!  That is a reasonable range and well worth trying.  I see how you're getting the numbers and I might play around with the values to hover a bit lower in attenuation.

Anyone know a good male to female rca coupler offhand to use for this?

Just wanted to update that I've successfully completed my mainline and this custom l-pad adaptor.  The mainline sounds glorious!  The lpad adaptor looks pretty clunky but seems to be working well; I used the resistor values suggested by hmbscott.

Hard to tell it's working tbh, but with it in place I'm not reaching for a non-existent balance control so that's perfect. 8)  Thanks for the help on this!

Very nice. Very clean builds!
