to get the 'last nth' of performance from this amp, I'd replace the level pot with either a stepped attenuator or a pair of 1% resistors. Probably next to the lowest wattage I could get.
The pots on the amp are a real bargain part. I leave my level controls all the way 'up' to keep them as much out of the circuit as possible.
I haven't cracked the case. Does anyone think their is ROOM for a stepped attenuator?
Too much is never enough
Follow Ups:
Yeah, there are a lot of 'bargain parts' in certain Parasound components, but I know that is not necessarily an indictment of their sound. Indeed, a lot of parts in the E.A.R. gear I was talking about earlier would be considered 'bargain parts' too.
As an aside, I swapped out the gain controls on the E.A.R. 861 amp I was talking about for much higher quality pots (stepped attenuators would not fit).
