RE: SS Amp which betters the Halo A23

I spoke w/the boss about reducing the gain of the amp and replacing the level pots (100k, and probably carbon) with a stepper switched 'ladder' of perhaps 1% resistors.

The reply was their was probably NO room for such a replacement but if you can settle on a vol level, than measure the pot and replace with a couple 'fixed' metal film resistors. A SLIGHT increase in amp clarity might be noted, I was told. I don't know if I was told 1/2 watt or 1/4 watt would work.

Since I don't use the channel level controls ANYWAY, no reason not to do the mod. Save the parts to give to the next amp owner, somewhere a decade or so+ down the line.
