I just completed my second cmoy. It seemed to work fine before installing the Panasonic EVJ 10k pot.
After pot was cut in, lots of noise (some stray radio signals also) , only left channel with volume low, as vol was increased - both channels but with lots of static.
Also not much volume control and Volume could not be turned all the way down.
Tried 2 different pots.No change.
Wiring seems correct according pot diagram. I had the output ground close to the TLE 2426, so I moved it. Volume could then be turned all the way down but still noisy and left channel only for about 50% of travel then both channels.
Next I shorted the input to the output ground on the pot. This seems to have fixed all problems. So I bent the tabs and soldered the input and output grounds together. It's been running for a couple of hours and sounds really good.
It's not in an enclosure yet.
Any Ideas or thoughts?
TIA,
Chris
