Don:
I just tried the level control, and it did attenuate the overall volume
slightly, but nothing major.
It does exactly what I need.
Thanks for the info, and thanks to Kevin and others on the list who
suggested this to begin with.

Tom,
That's great! Hopefully it works well for you. I found it changed the
audio characteristics slightly, but that was probably more due to
introducing a different impenence. The change was slightly noticable,
but not really a problem at all.
Isn't it nice to deal with people who really know their inventory? <smile>
