I've got an old McIntosh MA-5100 working as my phono preamp until I hack
something better, the volume pots always gummed up in my ancient and dusty
house, a can of compressed air usually does the trick for a month or so. For
a more permanent solution, try capping the pots with cut, black plastic film
cannisters. Works wonders for me.

All my stuff is solid state, no tubes. I don't
have anything that is
truly worth a lot, I don't think. I'd just like to have consistant
sound. Where's Tony, on this?
