No experience with that particular attenuator. However, 1.2 dB/step is sizable but may be OK. -40 dB is not enough attenuation for me. My preamp (with PGA2320 as volume control) frequently makes it below -40 dB.

Yeah, I am afraid that 1.2 dB might not be fine enough.

Excellent results with the Goldpoint. Smooth and quiet operation. I also used the K&K version, but was getting pops during switching.

I just bought one of those attenuators of eBay last night... so we will see how it compares. Goldpoint and Dact are excellent.

I've been curious about those too.
Once posted on bottlehead forum and the following was recommended by someone, although i haven't tried it: Assembled Dale 23 Step Attenuator Volume Control 100k - eBay (item 270311271326 end time Jan-20-11 07:00:45 PST) |

Don't forget Broskie's stepped attenuator at tubecad.com. He has a spendy version and an affordable version. The nice thing is that it functions as a balance control as well.
