Good artical Laurie, where can i find a knob that goes to 11?
here's more to add to it...

Another good point is to avoid cheap commercial audio pots, the taper is horrible.
Snagged four 250k from evilbay for $20, and at 7 on the dial, or 1:00 its just starting to reach 100k.

Hello everyone !
It's my first post here !
quote:
the meaning of "A" and "B" was swapped a few years ago
Does anyone know when the swap occured ?
In my DSD-2, I have to replace three broken pots : original ones are marked as type B for feedback and level, type A for Time...
But in the mid 80's, which one is linear, which one is log ??

Doh, I didn't know they swapped A and B. I'm waiting for delivery of a bunch of pots and I may just have ordered the wrong type.  |
