MOST of the shops will be closed on Sundays... NIXIE included! laugh.gif
The only shop open will be the one on the first floor at the Darson building, suffice to get normal/common parts.

If 20K you need to crank up, I suggest you go lower. 10K would be about right.. 5K pot is also available wink.gif

This seems old as a 20K ohm volume pot SHOULD sound louder than a 50K ohm unit; bearing in mind that P = I²R and accordingly I = √P/R. If your 20K ohm volume pot is mounted separately in another box, remember to use interconnects of short length with low capacitance value.

BTW, I will try to reschedule our meeting again sometime this week before we break for CNY holidays; my apology for failure to meet up last week.

nice explanation... icon_rolleyes.gif
it is in the same box, with wire no more then 10cm...sad.gif or did i do something wrong on the wiring... with the knob facing up, middle is ground, right is from the input, left is to the t-amp...correct ah?

no problem bro, just come any time u free. if im going site on my own i might pay you a visit instead. smile.gif



hmm just check my old post tongue.gif
i think the wiring is wrong.....
1st is ground, 2nd is to the amp, 3rd is from the input.

With the rotary knob pointing directly at us and the soldering pins pointing up, I’ve always adopted:
Left for input (from the RCA), Middle for output (to T-amp board) and Right for Earthing. You determine front row pins for Right or Left channel yourself.

Wishing all T-ampers "Happy Chinese New Year" in advance, and

instead of Gong Xi Fa Cai 恭喜发财, let us just aim for Wan Shi Ru Yi 万事如意. biggrin.gif

Jazzy,
Direct translation of Wan Shi Ru Yi is "Smoothness in Ten Thousand Matters", hence I'd pick "All the Best" to be the better meaning. tongue.gif
And, all the best to you too. Have some happy holidays ahead.
