Vol. Control, TKD Or Dact For Counterpoint Pre ?

Does anyone know how either this one

or the ones built up with either Holco or Vishays on a Shallco or Elma stepped rotary switch compare?

Or does the quality of the switch itself not come into much play?

Yep. I do have a DACT and definitely won't fit. The smaller goldpoint might fit. You will need to get exact dimension from goldpoint.

Tonyptony, this guy from digitalanaloguediy used to sell them on ebay. It is not as fancy as the goldpoint but it will do the job. As long as you have good contact point with smooth action, I would think the difference will not be too great for the switch. As far as resistor goes, I do like the Holco but not sure where you can get all the values you need.

I seem to remember the Parts Connection having resistor based volume controls.

Thanks all. I guess one of the tricks is figuring the right taper. One of my fellow philes has a Quicksilver preamp that has dual mono 40-something position detented volume controls, making it very easy to have fine gradations between steps.
