Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

Steven seriously, does it matter? Upgrade vs Preferential Modification, who cares? Also, since you're getting all analytical you should re-read what you just wrote below. You said,"
  ive read all the posts here and i cant say clearly what the
'improvement 'is , unless 
  1. your encoders are dirty or faulty and you
need to replace them or 
  2. you personally prefer pots.   
  Ive yet to see a good explaination beyond that."

Both of those examples are enough to satisfy the definition of improvement. And both of those reasons are what EVERYONE is using to justify the purchase of the pot kit who gets one. Meaning it isn't an 'improvement' to those people, it is an improvement. If your encoders work fine, GREAT! If you prefer endless rotation vs 270 degrees of limited rotation, GREAT! Don't get the kit, because if you do, I'll venture to guess that, you'll be disappointed.

yet some insist on  using the term 'upgrade' rather than  'preferential modification"  
there could be a case that the stock encoders are not of the best quality, but  then are these  new pots top shelf??

Guys,
What's so special about the PEK having potentiometers over the endless knobs?
