Re: Klee panel - knobs vs sliders

2008-05-17 by adaaxs

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.
