Given the untimely demise of my Cyrus 2 (one of the best-sounding amps I ever owned) I need a replacement. Sometimes it's best to look to your own resources, and I have this Arcam Delta 60. It sounds amazing, but the gain pot is off and on...mostly off. Every time I think I've got it working, it is only for a time, and then no sound again. I have Deoxited it a few times, and the last time I did it I dripped it into the top of the pot, and it seemed like more of the stuff got into the innards than when using the direct spray. I'm thinking about desoldering the pot from the board (done that before) and zapping it in the ultrasonic cleaner with some Deoxit. If I do, should I follow up the Deoxit with something, and if so, what? Please feed me some ideas that work.
