Yes, I've tried ones like those at that price, and they were a distinct improvement at a WAY affordable price.

I mean, do you feel steps under your fingers....
I mean, do you feel steps under your fingers....
Mine, which is pretty much the same, has distinct steps but quite soft and smooth operating. There's no real effort to turn the volume. For me it's quite nice.
I mean, do you feel steps under your fingers....
Yes, most definitely.
Exactly as Carlp described it.
do you feel steps under your fingers....
Yes slightly, but you can hear the steps distinctly also.
These are much better pots than the price would imply.
You can buy spares for future use, and save shipping too.
b.....Al knob (4mm shaft , so that causing troubles with knob choice ).....
will change vol button for something nicer , as soon I find where I left small bag of 4 to 6 shaft adapters (sleeve, practically)
I've made plastic 4-to-6mm sleeve ( where is full bag of these?) and that allowed to mount old school Zen Amount button

and black allen bolts as final touch

These female chassis mount jack connectors…..some look very fancy from outside with an "alu-face" and a kind of lock mechanism. But is the inside of these connectors the usual "plastic"? …..are there quality difference among them? …..you don't extreme expensive jack connectors like you see with RCA?
The only experience I have with these jack connectors is from Starving Student II where a PCB mount connector is used. Seems to do the job. Next will be whammy where I have the kit. Here is also included a connector. I wonder if it is worth upgrading to one of the more fancy connectors. What I can say is that the AudioQuest converter from jack to mini-jack is "super duper" and made in one piece and silvered. It is many classes better than the other converters I have.
