All volume switches have been disassembled and thoroughly polished. You can use it comfortably without any gaps. I took detailed photos of the interior. Please take a look. This is an attractive pre-main amplifier with a simple circuit configuration typical of British CREEK, and has natural, uncharacteristic sound quality. It is thick in the mid and low frequencies, and plays vocals and acoustics comfortably. It's not flashy, but it's designed with an emphasis on musicality, and it's still a deeply popular model. There are small dull scars over time (Sasaki Shota)
