Potentiometer: early volume problem

[markmay]

I have replaced the volume control in my Anthem Pre 2L with an Alps RK27112 100K blue velvet. This is the same pot value that was in the Anthem from the factory.
My problem is that I get about 90% of the volume when it's only turned up to about 5% of the pot rotation travel.
Should I consider a pot with a different resistance value?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
