| I replaced the volume pot on my tube preamplifier. @rowd Good to hear. Is it this one? Tokyo Ko-on Denpa P65C Series Variable Potentiometer Where did you buy it? | |
| Garrard 301 - Project Ha! I can't win for losing! Care to elaborate? Based on my experience, I won’t be buying anything from Aric Audio (new or used). | |
