Recently,i got 4 nice pots on hand and wanna build a pot for my PPA to replace the Alps old pot.But,they are different steps and structure.Two are SHALLCO 32 steps with 2 channels and others are ITT Germary 26 steps with 4 channels.
After i searched all the threads about stepped pot,i found that they can be built in both "SHUNT" and "LADDER" types.The first question come to my mind is that some ppl pointed out that the more steps the pot,the smoother attenuation they hv.
However,the impedence of shunt type varies for steps and the 32 steps one can only be built in such way.Also,the ladder type have stable impedence for all the steps but the pots i got are just 26 steps(ie.no smoother as the 32 steps).It is so hard to make one's choice to build which type of pot.
Hey fds,i would like to know which one is better.Plz feel free to give me advices.

(costs aren't the facter as i have some DALE resistors here)
