Much more stable than switched-resistor controls or potentiometers.
And balanced operation is easy if desired, since it is inherently available

Okay maybe it is possible to make a colorless trafo but i have not encountered one.
I heard the Sowter and they are to my ears not as transparant as a resistor attenuator.
But what i do believe is that some analog stages react better to a trafo attenuator than a resistor based one.
But i'm up for the challenge. If you can provide a sample of a piece of music raw and with a trafo attenuator in a loop with a much used converter like a digi192 or Lynx aurora clocked internal. I can do the same with my resistor network (wich is fully balanced) with buffer amp (and maybe without if you would really like) and we can hear the difference!
