Good afternoon,
I built a CMoy (OPA 2227, gain of 4) without a volume control and adjusted volume with the control on the Panasonic 32 ohm headphones.
Subsequently I added a 10K (ALPS RK097) potentiometer to the audio input in the usual fashion and it appears sound quality has suffered.
Are there any audio amp/electronic issues with putting a pot at the output instead of at the input?
I realize there are 2 variables here-pot location and the use of different volume controls-but I thought I would ask before I put the 10K pot at the output.
Thanks
