Hey all!
Finally finished my first Bottlehead kit over the weekend - Loving the Crack thus far, might wait a bit before I install my Speedball kit - as I'm worried I'll mess up a perfectly functioning amp ha!
Side note, kit was smooth sailing, instructions were GREAT. Fortunately I have a fair bit of experience with a soldering iron at this point, so found it fairly relaxing. Few melted ends of insulation trying to maneuver the iron into tight places, but nothing to concern myself with. Did get a bit trigger happy soldering the diodes before instructed - managed to get them unsoldered without roasting them ha!
Anyway, I digress..
Like several others, I'm finding my HD650's getting very loud at about 7:30-8:00 on dial (I have my knob set so volume off is directly at 6:00) and noticed the FAQ mentions soldering some resistors on RCA lines/pot.
I was on mouser looking at different parts, and I see there's more options than just wattage and ohm rating.. I'm a complete noob when it comes to this, so hoping some of you who've done this mod could recommend some options?
Those who've added the resistors, how much volume is required after install to get to your baseline listening level? Half way on pot?
Anyway, great kit, looking forward to the Speedball (probably next weekend if I find the time/courage)!
Any input greatly appreciated!
