I'm passionate about coding and researching the history of technology as well as exploring where technology is leading.
I used to work in flight simulation doing both hardware implementation (electrical design, wiring), web development (design, development, webmaster), as well as software development (desktop development in C#).
I'm a big fan of both using and contributing to Open source projects.
I am the creator of the pypreprocessor library that can be found on PYPI as well as Google code.

How do you replace a broken volume pot? Nice... This is more along the lines of what I was looking for. While I'm perfectly comfortable with soldering and using a multimeter, I figured there were some special considerations to make with audio equipment. The link you provided was a great read. |

How do you replace a broken volume pot? I uploaded the pictures and added the part numbers to the question. Apologies about the delay, I haven't been home (where my amp is) in a few days so I couldn't get the pics. |

How do you replace a broken volume pot? @Kim If you look at the manuals for most studio quality production equipment, you'll usually see a wiring diagram. This stuff is expensive (the amp I have retailed for ~975 before it was replaced by a newer model) and (at least back in the day) equipment was built to be repaired not replaced when it broke. Check with google; these types of questions are pretty common on pro audio sites. I asked here because: 1. I really do need to replace one of the pots on my amp. 2. I thought this was an appropriate audience for such a common problem. |

Scratchy volume pot I hate to nitpick but isn't this more of a comment on BenV's answer than an answer of its own? |

What is a balanced input / output? +1 great explanation. I always wondered why analog signal cables used opposite voltages because differential doesn't necessarily require opposite voltages to work (ie, you could send the same voltage down both lines). The twisted pair and magnetic cancellation makes perfect sense now. Thanks. |

Amplifier Circuitry +1 don't fix it yourself if you can't get the manufacturer to fix it. Take it to a repair shop. |

Amplifier Circuitry The issue could be cause by thermal runaway because of mismatched transistors or poor design (the latter most likely if this is really this issue). I'd suggest searching to see if other people have had this issue (to rule out poor design). If it isn't a common issue a fried component may be causing this (most likely a blown capacitor/filter). If it can't be sent back to the manufacturer for a fix/replacement, I don't suggest trying to fix it yourself. Large caps in amps can still store a lot of electricity even when the device is shut off (big ones can really hurt you). |
