True, but you know that quite often people ask the wrong question rather
than explaining their problem (which the original poster did) and asking
for a recommended solution. Since he already had another place to adjust
the volume, the didn't need a variable attenuator that would, once the
setting to get the level into the right ballpark was determined, would
remain at that setting for the next ten years or so. A fixed attenuator
would be the better solution once he could quantify roughly how much
attenuation he needed . Any pot would do for that. (Or when in doubt, 15
dB is usually a good guess)

I sure can.

Everybody is making this more complicated than necessary. I have
increased my order to include a 10K and a 5K pot. The impedances of the
tuner and preamp are unknown. Which pot would work best? 5K, 10K, 50K,
100K, 250K.
