@rowd Good to hear. Is it this one?
Tokyo Ko-on Denpa P65C Series Variable Potentiometer
Where did you buy it?
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.

Well I have to say I bought 2 mono ones on ebay one went scratchy in a short time. I lived in Alaska at the time. So I contacted the Company Kayoko Shinbori, Sales Dept. TOKYO KO-ON DENPA CO., LTD. 56 Orimoto-cho, Tsuzuki-ku Yokohama, Kanagawa 224-0043 JAPAN Phone: +81-45-470-9341 Email: kayoko.s@ko-on.co.jp This guy was so great I never looked back. They make them to order now days 5 years ago. One of the best deals in Audio in my mind! Well worth the wait.! |
@rowd Thanks. I use mono pots too. Maybe we need to pressure manufacturers to use better pots. |
ROWD and I have been through this and if anyone does not think this is a MAJOR ISSUE they cannot hear….here is my short story I by accident ruined a khozmo attenuator while painting a faceplate on a dual mono passive and pulled the other out and then substituted with ALPS and I was floored which led me to another world….and as a result I even took a 5K ARS SONUM FILHARMONIA AND ripped it apart to replace the ALPS with a pair of KHOZMO which now set externally on the chassis and the difference made a 5K integrated sound like a a 10 k integrated…..CHEAP POTS TURN MY STOMACH. |
