Because it's a a fully balanced design except for the volume knob? So all the parts are already there? And having a balanced connection that's ultimately not balanced because of one of the cheaper parts in it is a shame?Why would you care if it's not fully balanced? Fully balanced is just more expensive.
They obviously have designed the amplifier in a way that does not need a balanced volume pot. It sounds different in the two operation modes and it is unique because it uses the four amplifier modules differently between the two operation modes.Because it's a a fully balanced design except for the volume knob?

I like buying Amps and some of the older good ones. The Auralic Taurus Mk II is one I am considering, used $400-$500 range. I am unsure how it sounds it does seem like it fits my style but wonder if maybe it's a downgrade from my current amps of Violectric V22, Bryston BHA-1 and SPL Phonitor 2. No offense to owners Auralic Taurus Mk II it's a beauty of a amp I am on the fence about buying.
No, these are my keepers for now. Although I may sell my Rebelamp soon, they stopped making them is going to be a collectors items soon.Are you selling your current amps?
If it's on volume change, try to work pot back and forth to clean contacts. It happens with all potentiometer pots.So my Taurus has some crackling sound. Any suggestions? Thank you
I opened the amp and did use WD40 contact cleaner on the volume pot while working it back and forth but it didn’t resolve this for me completely. Any idea which part of the volume pot I need to spray the contact cleaner?If it's on volume change, try to work pot back and forth to clean contacts. It happens with all potentiometer pots.
