Er, by plastic pot I meant the conductive plastic ones such as Alps.

I've tried cermet potentiometers for volume control, and in a blind
test (non-double, used dual switch with my friend) I can't tell the
difference between it and a stepped attenuator; however, in 7/10
trials me and 8/10 trials him heard difference between plastic pot and
the cermet, both preferring the cermet.

It is interesting; I'll try it soon. I have a nice selection of most
everything - carbon film, metal films, cermets - but not much in the
way of carbon comps.
