[sdiy] Potentiometer suggestions.

[Seb Francis]

The cheap 16mm Alpha pots (RV160 series I think they are) are generally 
accepted as being pretty good.  Sure, they are made to a price, but many 
people use them without problems.  A lot of Eurorack format modules 
(Doepfer, Analog Solutions, etc.) use these pots.

$0.50 sounds a bit expensive though.  In UK I would pay £0.38+17.5%VAT 
at single quantity.
