Oh, I am sorry, for the caps that define the RIAA time constants you will need small value caps. The caps that I recommended above are large value coupling caps. I wanted polystyrene for these small values and had a heck of a time finding a suitable vendor. Google "Just Radios", they are a husband and wife team in Canada, the prices were fantastic, the polystyrene caps sound great and service was awesome. Be careful though, polystyrene caps are more sensitive to heat than other compositions so a variable temperature iron or a still, quick hand will help here.
How to replace volume pot in Dynaco Pas
I have just aquired a Dynaco Pas 2 preamp. I would like to replace the funky volume pot.I have a alps style pot and I also have a stepped attenuator to use.Both the Alps and the Stepped Atenuator have 6 lugs for connecting.The stock Pas pot has 12 lugs. Normally there would be R-in,gnd.,R-out,L-in,gnd.,L-out.That's six.
The pas has 12 and a couple of caps connected as well. Can anyone enlighten me on how to change this out?
thanks in advance.
