My TU-8500 has TDK pot which is better than ALPS. It was not as simple to install it as in TU-8200.

TU-8500 does not have enough space for bigger volume pot..

That's ok, the results are still fantastic!

Righto, thank you, Is it a size issue with the TDK pot? The stock one is quite compact. Was it a big job, or just required a bit of care?
I'm not in a rush, if I find something that does fits in there, I may give it a go.

Anyone have any experience with this amp and lcd2c's? My ori's don't seem to have any problems with it, no humming or anything (unless I turn them up stupid high, but the music masks it anyways), and they are both planars so they should be fine right?

Are the upgrade boards and components available for the TU-8200DX now? When will Lundhal transform upgrade be available?

I think I've settled on genalex gold lion Kt66's and rca clear top 12au7's in pentode mode. I like the dynamism! I thought the clear tops were a little bright for me, but better source material seems to alleviate that issue. It all makes for a clean, detailed, and punchy combination.

Can we have an answer to this question please?

ELEKIT will not offer upgrade PCB for TU-8200DX. The Lundhal is next spring. We are working on TU-8800

Thanks for the reply. I've just found the link from the preview of TU-8800. https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/elekit/342879-elekit-tu-8800-set-amp.html

It looks very interesting. It's using 7581 tubes. I suppose one could also swapped in KT88, 6L6? Yes I answered my own question. There's a switch of low, mid and high to handle various type of tubes.

In particular, I'm interested in using Telefunken EL12 spez using an adapter. There's a forum member here @Dimu who had used EL12 spez in his TU-8200 and like it very much. I have like 4 pairs of NOS Telefunken EL12 spez.

I just got my hands on a pair of Tekton Designs The Perfect SET 15. Very good synergy with this amp. A big speaker designed for flea amps. Dial at 7:30-8:00 it is very loud.
