    SR6000DC Volume Pot Replacement

    Hi All, I have a SR6000DC that I rescued from a trash pile, literally. It is in great condition, but the volume pot has problems. Symptoms: Signal will drop sporadically to one channel or the other. So long as input signal power from my DAC is above 75% of max, it will often stay alive longer...

    Loud, weird "chirp" when adjusting volume slider.

    I enjoyed fixing my JVC AX-R97 (Thanks, redk9258) so much, I decided to dig into my R-X60. It makes a loud, high-pitched noise when you move the volume slider, unless you do it very slowly. It will also do it every time you push it all the way to "0" or if you maintain pressure on it in that...
