The rework itself could be relatively trivial and the calculation of values fairly straightforward, but the headache and cost is in the control. For reference: in production quantities, the existing control costs $50.

That being said, the production control could also be "slugged" -- but this will significantly (and non-linearly) alter the cut/boost taper. That would completely change the "feel" and function of this control ... not something we would recommend, but it might be acceptable for a specific installation / application.

Thanks for the info Streaky

Hmmm... OK I can live with +/- 15, but I'd really like it to be at least a bit accurate - seriously, it's always WAY out.

@ MASSIVE: Did they actually did anything to your units? or they just tested them and said they were fine? if that's the case, then they should get some decent measuring equipment!

@ edva: My other 2 eq's are pretty good actually (massive passive and IBIS), and the reward is sweeter, or at least it is to my ears.

I'm considering sending the 8200 back.... but what to replace it with?
