Anyone with Mackie Big Knob comments or other options?


Just found another bunch:

Those are some damn expensive pots :-)


Yes, if you're going to be up in that range you might as well get the
ones from Shallco. Penny and Giles also makes some precision pots in
that price range too, but you'll have to put them in a box.

The difference between the $5 Alps pot from Radio Shack and the $450
P&G is that the P&G has four gangs so you can do real balanced line, and
it has extremely accurate tracking, so the right and left channels are
the same level and the balanced lines stay balanced.

The Goldpoint SA1-X, though, is a real stepped attenuator in a box for
$439, which is pretty good.
