*Hi folks -
In anticipation of beginning my next K2 I have been reviewing the
archives for the many, many posts on audio - so please forgive one more!
I've built two K2's and owned 3. The one I am building now will be my
3rd. The only thought I've ever had as a "negative" about K2's is the
audio volume. At one point two of mine seemed to have different relative
volumes - even though Gary checked out the lower volume one and said it
was A-OK. SO...in building another one I would like to ask three
questions for those of you WAY more informed than this dim bulb :-)
1 - During my build, can you suggest particular building stages and
components where I should go beyond the normal voltage/continuity checks
from the manual to make ADDITIONAL measurements to make 120% sure I have
not inadvertantly "built in" anything that might contribute to a lower
than standard volume?
2 - Have there been or are there any suggested component substitutions
that might increase overall audio? If so, what are the tradeoffs for
this experimentation?
3 - I note with interest Tom Hammond's circuit for an external amplified
Motorola speaker (see http://N0SS.net) - has anyone adopted and used
this particular setup and what do you think? Does the amplification have
any negative impacts (distortion, increased noise, etc)?
If I missed archived responses that previously addressed these
questions, I apologize in advance!!! Thanks folks!
