ejk:
Does anyone know if I hooked up some Harrison 3db attenuators is there any signal loss

tmazz:
Isn't the purpose of a 3db attenuator to lower the signal level  by 3db?

I'm  not sure what you are asking?

If it is a well designed attenuator you should have a linear reduction of all frequencies by 3db. There should be no "loss" other than that. (but of course we all know that there can be sonic changes any time we insert anything at all in the signal path, but other than that , in theory, you should see nothing other than a linear reduction in gain.

Emil:
I've tried the Harrison Fmods high pass filters to fliter out low frequencies to my amp. They did do  good job of that but at a cost. Frequencies that passed lost transparency and dynamics

Response Audio:
If you are talking about loss of detail, it would depend on the input impedance of the amp. Unless perfectly match, you could experience a loss of detail and resolution.

BobM:
I tried them once, long ago. Crap!
