Default Stepped attenuater - Crumb tweak

I'm building a simple passive pre-amp, and looking at the "best possible" attenuater solution.

On my way I found this on the WEB.

The special "Bob Crump tweak" is (for a 25K stepped attenuator) to add 2 x 250K Vishay S-102 reses for each channel ... from input to output and from output to ground. It then takes 40-45 days solid use to break in completely!!

Does this idea work with a passive pre-amp?

What impedance should the attenuator itself have when used with this solution in a passive pre-amp.

And the are the values for the S102 the same in this case.

Please help
