Hey Folks, I'm trying to fix a noisy pot in my d2viper, unfortunately after digging through alps to find a 50k pot with similar specs, my search has come up empty. Has anyone had a similar issue and managed to use a different pot instead? like the more common 10k pot used in the mini3?

Thanks

why not get a different brand

I think a different Pot. will change the Frequency I think the Lower the # the more bass response the higher the less bass more highs... I might be wrong about this? If anyone knows please correct this...

They have everything High End. You want High quality then this place has it. Seems like good prices too.

Do you really need 4 back-to-back posts in the same thread within minutes of each other? Also, had you seen what a D2 Viper looks like, you'd know they don't use an Alps RK27 pot, they use an RK097 series. Your claim about bass or whatever else is pretty far-fetched, different brands have different quality, yes, but as for bass response has nothing to do with pot impedance, unless of course you're using the amp with a source that has too-small output caps in which case a low impedance pot will actually have less bass as it will be cut off. There should be no effect on the highs.

If its any help, I use these 47K pots, same footprint and pinouts as the ALPS pot, let me know if I can help with one
