Old lpl on new elite amps?

Post by Weaklink »

Wondering if anyone has tried it. Replacing my reactor with an elite.5 and like the location and look of my old lpl. Don't really need the LEDs on the elite knob. Thanks for the help.

DON'T DO IT!!!

They are not the same...one member here was kind enough to send me his elite remote so I can make extras if needed, let me know. If you already have one then you just swap them out (the cord as well).

Ok. I'll swap them then. It would be nice if the remote flush mounted better like the lpl.

Did you remove the whole casing? I believe you can mount it behind a trim panel if you have enough room (I think it was about 1.5" in depth on the pcb).

I think I do. I just need to track down a nut for it. The shaft floats in the case.

It won't work properly, do not use old LPL with Elite amplifiers.

Elite circuit is much improved and much quieter than LPL.

So is the new RBC circuit used in all the other new amps.
