Is this how they enforce traffic laws, poos considered so dumb they block intersections unless you beat them when they do? Only way to keep traffic flowing when you have dravidian drivers.
Certainly a keeper! These days you would have to spend _a lot_ to get something better: Accuphase, Luxman, etc. There is a good chance these would sound identical and not noticeably different.
If the static occurs while (!) you are turning the volume knob, it is dust and a bit of oxidation inside the volume potmeter. It can disappear with using (twisting) the pot.
If the pot would remain 'scratchy', you can clean it by spraying a bit of an electronics contact cleaner into the two (very) small holes in the side of the pot and then twisting it for a minute or two. Use Deoxit D5 or similar:
Do NOT use WD-40, this destroys electronics quite often! Also, only use a small quantity of Deoxit D5. Don't spray it everywhere 😀 Repeat if necessary.
@KissAnalog i own tpa3116, 3251 and 3221. I'm more impressed with 3221, however i need more power and wonder if tpa3255 is worth the upgrade. Technically 3221 is inferior to 3251 but in terms of listening experience, 3221 is very musical. Sorry for my bad English
