Ok, I fired up the KH-2 with my RM20 and it powered up but the volume was way too low for where the level was set - gain and level were halfway, which usually blows me out of the room! Plus no real increase in gain with it all the way up. So, I tried my other mods and all is well. Then, I swapped tubes and same problem. I then start wiggling the module around and the full sound would cut in and out.
I tried tightening all the way, tightening it halfway, and also tried not tightening at all, which made it cut out completely and make a strange high-pitched sound. The only way I could get it to act normal was to push in the center of the module, but as soon as I let go, it would act up again.
It seems as if it's not able to go in all the way. I compared it back to back with the Grail and it looks like the board is shorter. I've heard of people having similar problems and fixing with solder, but will this fix the problem I'm describing? Has anyone else had a problem with a shorter board? Can I extend the contacts in some way? My warranty options are few as I bought it used, so what can I do? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks fellas!
BTW, when I could get the KH-2 to fire up, it sounded great - like what I've been looking for!
