I guess I caused a little scrum eh ? Go pots ! Though knobs are too goddamm expensive.
We need to do something about that too.

A good rule is for CV and control I'll use Alphas or Allen Bradley, high mechanical
reliability and for Audio I use reliable conductive plastic or cermet like Bourns. There
needs to be a middle ground on pot but the only real middle ground is to bulk buy a lot ot
somehow find a good overstock dal.
