I apologize for the subject pun (I sometimes crack myself up ... oh stop)

I am considering switching the potentiometer for some stepped attenuators I have.  Can someone tell me the resistance of the potentiometer (50, 100, 250 Kohms?)  And are there any problems if the attenuator is stereo (not balanced) and the same value?  I don't think so, but I'm the guy with the lousy sense of humor -- what do I know?

And I apologize if this has already been covered elsewhere (although I didn't find it in the threads).

Thanks.

David

Any stereo log pot from 600 ohms to 500k. To be kind to your sources, 15k-250k is a better target.

For reference, the manual says the included pot is 100KOhm, I believe.
