Is the blue velvet Alps still best price/performance pot?

supernet · 17th October 2011, 02:56 PM

I am in search for 10k log pot with best price / perfomance ratio. So far I found Alps RK27 "the blue" for 17 EUR, TKD CP2 -601 for 35 EUR and Noble for 45 EUR.

It seems that in this price category, Alps rates very high for what you get for money or I am wrong?

I have always been very pleased with ALPS and they would still be my first choice.

Never had a problem with them so never felt the need to change.

I support this, absolutely reliable, very good wiper contact. More than hundred units, no problem.

I also have good experience in the Alps RK27 through the years until I got for me to try TKD CP2 -601 I will not buy any Alps in the future TKD is quieter even better built and worth the extra cost, but it is my subjective opinion.

I share that subjective opinion. The TKD are well built, quiet and seem to sound good, if that can be said of a pot. But they ought to, for the price!

Mostly I stick with the Noble as they are great value for money here in the USA.
