That is the main reason for me to attenuate the signal.
That's a very clear answer, I appreciate your help.
All in all, now I think it would be better to make a simple L-pad with no switch. Simplicity is better.
A bit offtopic, however. There are some ready to use stepped attenuators on market (goldpoint for example) with resistance up to 250 kohms. What are such values needed for in case you mentioned that the smaller value is better?
Speaking about make-before-break switches. There are some made in Kazakhstan and available in Russia called PGK. ПГК-8П4Н-К13Ш model for example (these complicated Russian model names always make me crazy) with quite reasonable price.
