Potentiometer 'upgrade' --- comments? is it a good thing?

2011-02-12 by steven

has anyone done the potentiometer mod on a polyevolver?   is it easy to use the  new pots to scroll to select a value ? Do the numbers and destinations move TOO FAST TO SEE? 
  the encoders take sometomes 2 and a half revolutions to scroll throgh all the options and even so, it can look like a blur to turn the knob.  Do the pots make it hard to select by moving way too fast in a limited amount of knob movement?  I realize the encoders are often 'sloppy' and dont seem to connect clearly and precisely to the rotation. (perhaps what is considered 'dirty') but are the pots actually better/easier or cause their own problems?
?
