I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier.


Replaced the two mono Alps pots in phono preamp with Tocos (Tokyo Cosmos), RV24 units. I heard good things about these pots on other forums. Fair bit of work getting them to fit into the Croft 25R. I had to loosen the tube boards and drill out the mounting holes for the larger threads. The pots were only $26 for both inc tax and shipping. Huge improvement in speed, clarity, solidity, and transparency. I'm blown away.

Yeah, yeah...heard it before.....
"Pirate picture intercepted; squeak cleared." from the SelfControl 'bots....pesky 'chits....  Only defense is to get offensive and go moto-vated....hide in plain sight, move when it blinks.

@bolong ...Yup, ask the lobster at your next gastroventure...;)

@noromance ...(Surely you jest?  ;)  Always wanted to ask that and "NONE?!" *LOL*
Look on it as a Public Service; keeping it out of the lungs of those who would just waste it and the hands of Public Servants who waste it as well.... ;)

...and then, consider it as another PS as keeping it under control and put to Good Abuse...🙄

It's bad pot stories in bigger $ pre's and amps that drove me to near-total digital switching with my picks for twitch...nothing wears out or dusty, leaving me to get corroded....

The matrix switcher is the only exception, but due for some TLC...
