Hi all,
Im a newbie to DIY, and need some advice on the following issue:
I want to improve the internal wiring of my Amity headphone amplifier and Ihave purchased some good quality cables. The thing is that once I open the amp cage, i find a couple of transparent /white big patches of what seems to be something similar to silicon, glue or some kind of electronics / thermal paste, on both sides of the amp.
These patches are covering the internal part of the mains socket, and the power switch, on one side, and what seems to be the internal part of each potentiometer ( the amp has two, one for each channel) on the other....
I can't remove the old cables and solder the new ones unless i remove these patches...but Im not pretty sure what they're used for, and if i'll have to restore ithem again , after soldering the new cables, in case they were something necessary to stick with, for rhe amp to work properly.
Are these patches some kind of glue, heath dissipator, electrical isolator....something whose mission is to keep pieces fixed and / or Isolated ??
Where could i buy them .?
I attach a couple of pics, with the patches encircled, that will probably help the experts to understand what the patch is made of.
Many Thanks in advance for your answers, guys!,!!!!
