Hi Bruno,
Somebodys having a noise “issue”
Try Spectrol 180 Series,
Farnell P/N 307-1133 or 307-1250 1K Double Gang Log.
After major QC issues with Log Pots, the tracking between Gangs can be very poor due to the Log Taper, I now use LIN pots and an extra resistor to emulate a Logarithmic like taper – I find its Ok for most applications.
See below and original design idea:-

Hi Bruno,
Making a log potmeter with a lin potmeter + adding a resistor does not work very well due to the non linear resistance on the taper. The larger the current, the worser the effect.
Once I tried wirewound potmeters, which seems to work well exept that they are very hard to get in stereo. you need to make a mechanical connection between them to have dual or even quad configuration.
