I have been using a cheapo pot 50K log.
Recently I changed to one as shown in photo. Same 50K but linear. When at minimum volume both are at 7o'clock, but at listening level the old one was at 9-10 o'clock while the new one at 1-2 o'clock.
Should I worry? The new one sounds smooth and nice.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

Tangent recommends "log or audio" rather than "linear" for amp use.

If you want, you can create a psuedo-log pot using the linear potentiometer.
