Title: Reduce Gain in PJCCS'd Quickie?
Post by: MarkInWisconsin on March 21, 2010, 08:26:48 AM

I just PJCCS'd my Quickie.  It sounds fantastic, but now I have too much gain when running through my Paramour's and Klipsch Heresy's.

Can someone explain to me how to reduce the gain out of the Quickie?

Thanks in advance!

You could try a potentiometer with a higher resistance like this:

or add an in line resistor to the output of the potentiometer.  Try different values until the lowest volume setting is suitable.  You may want to start with something like 10K ohms.

Once you find the right value, replace with a good quality resistor like a Mills.  You will also need the correct wattage, not sure what that will be.

Remove the jumpers that go between the selector switch and the volume pot, then replace them with 100k resistors.
