would be to remove all knobs from the signal path. Just bar switch handles. Adjust with a pair of plyers. The sound is much cleaner, loss of heavyness is sensed.Knobs pick up airborn vibration which is then imparted to the chassis which then is fed to the circuit via pcb or connections. This vibration or resonance, as we like to call it in the industry, can be tweaked with said knobs. Wood for a warmer sound, stainless steel for that cold detail. Removing the knobs altogether approaches neutrality.
We have a service where you can send your knobs to us and we will throw them out for $750. The purist approach, less is more, always costs more.
