I thought it would be a good idea to post images and sources for knobs that people have found and like. It has been very hard for me to find a knob that I like, and I figure that I am not alone.

Please post an image and source at least. Price would be nice too.
Thanks everyone!

Ok Ill start with my favorite DIY knobs.

Arthur Harris Cabinet Hardware pulls.

Stainless steel, avaliable all over the net, you have to drill it out to accept a shaft but its easy, and with a little blue tac on the end of the shaft it doesnt go anywhere.

about $11US

THL audio has a great selection of Knobs at good prices. Everything is in NT$ New Taiwan Dollar, so you need to convert unless you live in Taiwan.

DIY Cable has some now:

The smaller ones are still pretty large, I like the proportions better, and $8 isn't too bad....

Very handy links!
I thought I'd bump this up in case somebody has any more places for knobs.

Anybody have any pointers to illuminated knobs?

AdThanksVance,
