RE: What resistors are most transparent

For the series resistor, I use Vishay nude TX2575. They can be purchased on-line for ~$10 each. For the shunt resistors, I use a Khozmo shunt attenuator with Dale-Vishay resistors, the little beige/brown colored ones. Caddock TF020 (from M Percy) are also very transparent as are the "other" nude Vishays sold by MP, TX23-something-something. This, of course, is my opinion. However, it's backed up by very low noise measurements for these resistors. IMO, a TX2575 will blow away anything you could have bought at Radio Shack.

If, as someone else inferred, you have two different attenuators in the signal path, one built in and one used as a remote, by all means do cut back to one in-line attenuator. That alone should help.
