Pass Labs XVR 1 upgraded pot replacement ?


The level adjustment pots on my XVR 1 unit are starting to become noisy during rotation. The stock are easily replaceable.
However, has anyone replaced stock pots with the stepped resistors attenuator type ?

Thank you.

Hello Barry,
Thank you.
Hexfreds are on my list.
I have contacted Parts Connexion and they suggested the DACT C2-1 device, also. Until my XVR 1 is in their shop only then PC can tell me if the DACT's will fit and operate properly.
The other reason apart from noise pots, I would like to find out if resistor networks volume attenuators are of better sonic performance in this case.

Hello Barry,
Thank you.
Yes, of course I will let you know how it works out.
My XVR 1 will be shipping out to PC first week Sept.
Do you feel besides, the Hexfreds, by replacing the psu filtering caps with better unit will make any differences.

thx Terry
Hello Barry,
Thank you again for your kind reply.
Yes, I will skip the PSU caps and only do the pots and diodes.
By any chance, would you know the resistance value of the stock pots on the XVR 1 ?
I presume that the value is the same on each pot.

Thx Terry.
