    Yeah ,the vol pot is on the top ,behind the front panel so it is a bit obscured from front on view .It's not modded but it is "improved"with Russian ex mil caps.Opened it up and the vol pot is cheap looking ,not enough room to upgrade the pot so hooked everything up as described Mick

    Not wishing to sound too hard on the Yaqin ,I took it one of the NEBO's as a pre in its own right and it was favourably received, i.e nowt wrong with it ,especially for the price.Just the tvc is better Mick

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Mine is a prometheus also and I agree ,they are very good and were a lot cheaper than other marques .Bid on a couple of Yaqin valve integrateds back in the days when Chinese gear was a lot cheaper . Yaqin are one of the better companies from China.
