I found out from the Hifi Collective website that it's possible to adjust the torque setting required to move the switch by one step. Simply move it to its mid position, 24 out of the 48 steps, insert a 2mm metric Allen hex key into the adjustment hole on the side and give it a clockwise partial turn to increase the torque setting. Positive 'click' is now restored and no chance of hitting a half on half off 'mid-position'.

    Result!

    You can see the adjustment hole just below the right hand resistor.

    Great! I really wanted to play with my Khozmo but didn't want to ruin it. Thanks for the post, I will keep tha in mind.

    The end result looks sensational. I'm a huge fan.
    Hi Oliver,

    I had almost forgotten myself as well. But finally I received it. The result is VERY good. The voices are realistic like never before. I just need more time to assess the sound without being carried away by the first impression.

    A veil has been lifted, more detail can be heard, better separation in space has been achieved. Definitely several steps ahead. The best from the two worlds of passive and active preamps.

    Highly recommended (until further notice).

    Great result and one I completely expected.

    Well done!
