I may have actually seen those used in Tesla coils, not amps.

I noticed @Paladin79 hasn't posted for a few days in the thread.
After awhile you build a camaraderie with fellow Head-Fi members and enjoy the daily back and forth.
Hope all is well buddy and that you are just taking some time off from the digital domain and enjoying life and the wife's new She Shed.
Sometimes we all need a break...I call it equilibrium like the pictured coin...a balance of the digital and analog.

Let’s not overlook the balance of the quiet and the music...

The two 'pipes' are the ground bar - you can attach ground wires to pretty much anywhere on those.
The two wires going from the socket are the outputs - the one with yellow is left, the one with red is right. Within each one are two wires, should be one white and one black; white is the signal, black is the ground.

Here's what you basically want:

White from RCA: Input 1
Red from RCA: Input 2
Black from RCA: Ground
White with Yellow Cluster: Wiper 1
White with Red Cluster: Wiper 2
Ground/bare from both clusters: Ground (any, you can attach them straight to those ground bars you asked about)
Also you can connect the two ground pins on the potentiometer itself together.

Also, importantly, make sure those two grounds you circled in the first picture are attached to each other. The one on the left is the ground for the headphone jack; if it's not connected to the rest of the ground bar, then your headphone jack will no longer be grounded and it'll be unfortunate-sounding at best.

I did it and it works. Sort of LMAO. It doesn't sweep the volume, it's just maxed out. At Min, 7 o clock maxed out and nothing happens if I sweep the volume to max except for the last 20% or so, it turns the left channel to 0. Broken pot or broken skills ?

Again with the ALPS pot ???

Yeees yes. I still wasn't satisfied with the stock one. I don't know... Elise can't come soon enough...

Did you order the Feliks Audio Elise ???

 

[Deceneu808]

Did you order the Feliks Audio Elise ???

Yeah. They offered to send me the new upcoming 2021 model as well in the same price just because I ordered a month ago. Still about 6 weeks to go. They should be announcing the changes this month. Internal upgrades and a facelift over the current model. Can't wait. I should be one of the first ones to get it

Good for you, Feliks produces very good amps. How much did you pay for it ?
Was eyeing the new MKII myself.
IMO with the Elise on its way, don’t waste more money on the DV, it’s ok in stock form and the tubes are interchangeable with the Feliks

Today, a 6AS7G Telefunken arrived, and a Feliks Audio Echo MK II...

I paid 1199 EUR without tubes. As I have plenty around in pairs... And the tube are interchangeable. 6as7 power and 6sn7 driver. Two of each

First impressions compared to the DV ??

DV is modded, as you can see here in the Thread, its the DV you can find on Page 499.
For me, the DV is exactly what I want a tube amp to be.

The Echo sounds more like an SS amp, but he have still the Stock tubes and I haven't had time to really hear it today - but SQ and build quality is really on a high level!
