attenuators ????

I am looking for any thoughts/opinions on these:

This is from the page:
"Here's the solution to a problem from which far too many audiophiles suffer - too much gain in the system. The symptoms are easy enough to spot - the volume is plenty loud enough with the volume control set to the 9 o'clock position, too loud with the volume control at 10 o'clock, and fine control at low levels is impossible."
--------------------------
I am getting a VERY strong output from my Sony CDP to my Headroom Little.
I had a Y adapter on the CDP outputs in order to compare amps and the sound seemed clearer/cleaner with the Y adapter attenuating the signal somewhat.

I welcome any comments by those with experience or just opinions on the benefits of attenuating the signal from my CDP to the amp.

THANKS,
Glenn
