Thanks for your understanding, Xenithon ... I personally prefer the stepped volume pot ONLY for quiet low-level listening applications since its perfectly equal L/R response at every 'step' eliminates the slight low-volume imbalances present in continuously variable potentiometers. Otherwise, i hear no significant SQ improvement using the stepped attenuator versus the smooth-pot Alps.
