Quickie preamp

[underdawg]

I am wondering and trying to find the shaft size for the quickie knobs to source different looking knobs for the quickie I bought last week and waiting on its arrival.

It's 1/4".

Thank you but most vendors are listing them in millimeters which is what I am looking for if possible

[kgoss]

1/4" = 6.35mm

Try some electronics suppliers like Mouser and DigiKey. 1/4" is a very common shaft size.

My suggesting - worth all you are paying for it - is to build it bone stock first. Listen to it for a number of hours - the caps or whatever do seem to need time to break in - THEN do the upgrades.

I tried both the chokes and PCJJ and the PCJJ was a BIG up over stock and even the  choke mod.   

[underdawg]

I have been reading and I thought you either use the pcjj or the chokes, are you saying to add both to it one at time or either or?

Dawg, we say it that way in Georgia, before you swap out the caps you can break them in:

thank you for the break in link , sometimes I use them as power supply temp bypass filter caps,or I use capacitor tester to break em in.
