I dont mean to start to many new threads but, can we talk potentiometers?
I am looking for a dual channel with possible On/Off switch at about 50K Ω, but more importantly I would like to know what are good options for audio pots and should i avoid.
For exemple, I know Alps is a good brand and the RK097 is commonly used in Cmoys.
Also, i know that a potentiometer has 3 leads so it can increase resistance in one side and decrease the other (Used as potential dividers?). The mystery is why do you need to ground one side when you are not interested by this fancy option.
Thanks
