I thought I saw a post about attenuators for the inputs. Bob Latino has his stepped attenuatuator, but it's a dual ganged one, and a bit pricey for me. Wouldn't just a pair of pots work as well?

Without getting into the religion of stepped attenuators vs. pots, yep!

They are often rebranded Alessandro and price doubled

Ah yes, the old audio taper pot. I use them for tone pots on my guitars. CTS and Bourns are some of my favs in that realm.

But I can appreciate the design and benefits of actual stepped ones.

I'm drawing a brain fart in the connection aspect, getting old. Assuming a completed amp, I cut the + connection at the RCA input. Each end of the resistive strip, lug 1 and lug 3, go across the + and - lugs of my RCA input, the wiper goes to the + input of the amp.
