I know the Alps Blue is a great pot and I'm using one with my Pimeta; But, I was just wondering what other pots people are using besides the Alps Blue?(excluding the Panasonic EVJ).

I know Noble is supposed to be very good. Any others that are just as good or better than the Alps Blue that could be used in the Pimeta?

How about Stepped Attenuators?

re: stepped attenuators, make a search, we recently found a cheap source for them.

otherwise, panasonic makes pots supposed to be better than the blue velvet : http://www.schuro.de/preisl-plppotis.htm

If you didn't want to do a stepped attenuator (tho the ones referenced above look nice and appear to be a very good value for the money), take a look at the TKD CP-2511 conductive plastic pots. Michael Percy sells them, as well as THL Audio. They are expensive, (~US $60 for stereo), but are really nice... much better than the Alps Blue.

Percy also has the Alps Black, which is better and more expensive than the Alps Blue!

The Noble will fit nicely in place of the Blue. Better tracking than the Blue, IMO. At least as good as a Black Velvet (Have both).

Do you know the Part# or Model# of the Noble Pot you are speaking of? Thanks.

The 1 inch black Noble pot that Michael Percy sells for $20 is the AP-25. Michael told me Noble still makes it especially for him even though it is no longer in the catalog. Note that this pot has the pins 100 mils farther back from the front panel than the Alps Blue, so it is not board compatible.
