I wanted to bump this thread as I am having the same problem using my Ray Samuels B52 (as a preamp) feeding my Edge NL12.1 power amp.
The 23-step Dact attenuator is usually at 4(too low) or 5(too high). I am going to try a pair of Rothwells (cheap!) but I saw comments that they blunt the sound.
I noticed other ideas here in the forums but I just wanted to ask for up-to-date suggestions (aside from trading for a new tubed preamp, which I will consider later on).
I love the tonality and richness of the B52, so I am trying to make it work if I can.
