I've just modded a t-amp to make a power amp via audio 1st diagram (stealth badd modd with new 2.2uf caps and new power cap).
I've added 100k resistors from input.
Everythings working well and sounds great but it seems extremley loud.
I previously reboxed a t-amp with a alps 50k pot but this power amp seems way louder.
With my marnatz 63se cd player I can't even turn the volume past 3. previously I could have both the cd player and the amp on full volume.
Justed wanted to knnow if anyone else had experienced this.
I attached a couple of pictures if your interested

Have you wired it like this ? (see attachment) I have modded 3 S.I's as power amps without the loudness problem you have ?
The way you have done it is different to mine. I carried out the "classic" mod and then removed the pot and substituted the 100k resistors.
Yes. R1 and R2 are replaced by 22kohm metal film resistors attached to one of the pads vacated by R1 and R2. This is a very tricky soldering job. It pasy to be patient and make sure you glue the resistor to the edge of the board before soldering. Any movement of the resistor is likely to pull the very small pad you have soldered it to, off the board and then....goodbye S.I !

Thanks Puffin. I will check out the Classic mod on M. Madris' site.
I wonder if it'd be feasible to drill a small hole through or near the pad to secure the resistor without ultimately saying bye bye to the SI! I'll look into that when I get round to it. Anyhow, It does pay to be patient and careful when working on such small boards.
