Default What value pot?

My new digital FM tuner puts out too strong a signal compared to my
other inputs (TV and CD). I want to install a dual pot between the
tuner and preamp to reduce the volume. What is the best value pot to
use for this.

Depends on the input impedance of your preamp and the output impedance
of your tuner.

I have ordered 50K, 100K, 250K and 500K from Mouser (the
pots are cheap - the shipping is not).

Try the 50k first.

If it sounds OK, you're there.
