Need Help From The Brainiacs :)

bradster · 11th October 2009, 09:26 PM

I have a McCormack solid state TLC-1 passive preamp and i'm looking to replace the volume control with a TKD unit...The manufacturer charges big bucks for this upgrade so i was wondering if anybody can direct me to a person/company that could do his swap at a more cost effective price..Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

Find a friend with a soldering iron, buy him a beer...

It wouldn't be that tough of a mod to do yourself. Just practice on something else first, so you don't toast a $60 pot right away

Well..We're all good at something but this ain't my thing...Don't really have the time or inclination to experiment on a piece of audiophile equipment,especially my own

Rather open the wallet (not too much) and pass this job onto someone who loves this stuff

Nobody wants to make a couple of bucks

Just remember, in diy, the y stands for "yourself."
