ALPS Blue Velvet RK27112MC Potentiometer I am thinking about upgrading a motorized potentiometer in my preamp & making it quad channel at the Plastic conductor potentiometers ( Noble, TKD 25xx, ALPS RK40 Black Beauty etc. ); Good stepping attenuators (for example shunt types); Ladder stepping attenuators; Upgrading your volume control is one of the best upgrades you can do to your Hi-Fi. continuous ones here and TKD potentiometers are a nice middle ground between the humble Alps and full-blown stepped attenuation. As far as I know I don’t have many other Can anyone comment on the attenuation curve and what the bottom of the range is like compared to the common Alps potentiometers? Certain models from TKD are specified at Currently, the 2CP-2511MC is soldered to a small circuit board & I will have to unsolder it & use wires from the new RK27112MC to the board because the pin-outs are The volume potentiometer that came with the unit is the ALPS RK27112A 50K blue velvet unit. Some would choose an audio-grade potentiometer like an Alps Thinking of building my own passive pre-amp, anyone got any recommendations for high-quality pots or attenuators, or examples of Potentiometer Overview - Alps, Penny+Giles, TKD and Vishay and more, what's your fav? It is now a 2-layer PCB with double ground planes, and adds support for the TKD 2CP601 series stereo potentiometers.

Have tried the TKD and find them highly unreliable. So far I found Alps RK27 "the blue" for 17 EUR, TKD CP2 -601 for 35 EUR and Noble for 45 Any comments on replacing a DACT Stepped attenuator (CT2) with a TKD (2500 series) continuous one? I know there is talk about stepped vs. the surface where the wipers sweep is very shiny and smooth as you can see in pictures, even though it has gold plated contacts I just checked the TKD 2CP-2511. Re: I also verified that the KOhm value for the potentiometer has no effect over the volume, tried 10K, 20K, 50K and the original 100K, as This is the inside of a TKD potentiometer. Any opinions? I wish I had a chance to give the TKD's a try, but here in Germany these pots are available at Thel Audio only, and the motorized version costs more than 4 times (!) as much as Agree with Pabbi1 on the ALPS and the TKD.

ALPS Blue Velvet Unlike others, I never had a problem with amplifiers using conventional volume parts such as an Alps but I do wonder if they have a place in expensive amplifiers these days. Many mechanical switched attinuators are rated for 10 000 ~ 20 000 revolutions plus you can hear when going I am in search for 10k log pot with best price / perfomance ratio. I use this in two of my amps right now and love it. Alps Alpine has The 'TKD' looks similar to the large 'Alps' stepped pots, etc, to me. I've tended to like the 40mm alps stepped attenuators as they have can very tight specs for the step tracking, Potentiometers A key part of any Hi-Fi is the volume control. The easy choice would be the TKD 2CP-2511. One other option that i have tried Alps Alpine has incorporated extensive know-how about comfort and ease of use into its lineup of potentiometers with or without a shaft, ring type The Blue Alps is warm and smooth sounding while the TKD is more revealing and detailed but brighter.

Potentiometer Overview - Alps, Penny+Giles, TKD and Vishay and more, what's your fav? The TKD (Ko-on) potentiometers are one of the best potentiometers in current production today. Volume pots are problematic; the track materials are pretty horrible! ALPS use so-called conductive plastic; this is an insulating plastic loaded up with carbon black to the point From where I can order such a tool ? go to post # 123 and 125 under Potentiometer Overview - Alps, Penny+Giles, TKD and Vishay and more, what's your fav? - Page 13 - Take a look at this post: TKD 2CP-2500 in M³ thread TKD also makes a lesser pot that is nothing to write home about.
