old kit88 upgrades
Hi - I just gold hold olf a old WAD KT88amp. It looks nice. I am confident upgrading components but I would like to reduce the overall power out put. I would like to use it on Fostex fe206 BLH. I would like to lower power out put can some one help - simple as possible

Re: old kit88 upgrades
Buy an Alps pot,shunt it,and put it in a box with four phono connectors.
Use it between pre and power.Set it so a reasonable volume with the "main" pot at 1/3 - 1/2 travel. My Pre 3 has too much output for some of my amps (not all) and this is what I do. Simple-cheap-effective.

Re: old kit88 upgrades
If I remember correctly, there was an article on the old WAD forum in the FAQ section, which dealt with Bi-amping, also how to measure and reduce gain and sensitivity, it used two WAD amps as examples. Maybe Richard has this available in the WAD archive?

Re: old kit88 upgrades
Which amp is it Chris, and is it the integrated version or the power amp only?
Ah, just seen the title says Kit88 so just rewire the volume control as a shunt pot. There are various combinations of series resistors and pot values you can use to reduce the level in the faq, http://wduk.worldomain.net/forum/showthread.php?t=198 No need to get too involved with the blurb, just follow the drawing and the values given. 47k resistors with 20k pot would be my starting point. If you already have the standard 100k pot you could that with 220k resistors. Rich
