Thank you everyone. I am very happy to still be here. I have made far too many friends over the years as a member of Audio Circle to simply let things go without trying to work'em out. Your support was greatly appreciated.
Smitty, Thanks for the heads-up on the feedback. The Alps is already installed. I will send you the original dime sized pot as well to see what the Alps replaced. I have the amp currently running in my high efficiency system to assure proper channel balance and that the attenuation circuit is correct.
For some reason, my order did not go through on the caps and had to re-order. Should be here tomorrow. I will get them installed then, a few quick test and listening and out the door it goes.
