Hi, Someone offered me Alpha potentiometers.
for this price 25x 10K audio - $92.50 ($3.70 per unit)

thats what he told me:

these are: 0.04W / 100V, 15,000 cycles, +/-300 degrees rotation angle, PC
mount, flat D shaft 6.0mm

very high quality.

data sheet > http://img120.exs.cx/img120/6766/alpha.jpg

I need your suggestion. are they good as panasonic evj or alps?

Thank you!

The alpha rv122 I tried made some real scratchy noises when I turned them. Not a clean sound at all. I have another but I never tried it.

I use clarostat 585 pots which I got from state-elec.com for around 3.33 each ( I bought 6 of them.) shipped. These are really really small, and sound excellent, as good as my panasonic evj's. And they fit on a standard protoboard; the alpha rv122 does not.

Mouser carries those at 2.84 each. #313-1240-

They're OK, not as smooth as the panasonics, but much easier to work with if you're not doing a PC board mount for them.

ive found the 9mm sealed alpha pots to be really nice. especially when they should be priced under 2usd. i had one bad one, but the rest ive used, which is a fair few (for non headamp related applications mainly) have been lovely...

That's one the folks on DIYAudio rave about isn't it? I'm not aware of anyplace in the US that sells them.

no idea, i dont frequent diyaudio, i would have thought you could get them at mouser? they seem to stock a lot of alpha stuff.

i tested them in my cmoy first now im using them in my synthacon for tactility, and the fact itll likely live in smoke filled clubs for mostof its life

Thanks for the replys.

I am not from us. so i cant buy them at mouser.

I guess i will skip this offer.
