What do you think is the best make volume control ?? ALPS NOBLE ????

Mofi,

Potentiometer only the TKD clearly is the best choice, both I mention above is stepped attenionators.

Good Listening

My headphone amp has a very good ALP RK50 volume control (not stepped).  This is one of those "legendary" components.   However, this is a very BIG pot and it costs quite a lot.  A friend tried to buy one from the US distributor.  He was told that the price is $850 each, and the minimum order size is 50 units.  Headamp, the maker of my headphone amp, might be willing to sell someone this pot as they keep it in stock for their own products.

I've got a 50k Ohm stereo Noble(AP25), that I'm not using. Can a 1 1/8" H X 1 1/8" W X 1 1/4" D pot fit your application?   If so-  you can have it for free.   

Have Alps, TDK but neither is as good Goldpoint.

Magnum PI, do you have the ALPS RK50? Its the very large and expensive ($800) volume control. Did you compare this volume control to a Goldpoint stepped attenuator in the same system and find that the Goldpoint attenuator sounds better? That would be great news for Goldpoint since their stereo attenuators are around the $200 point and the alps is over $800. I use a Goldpoint and am interested in your findings. Thanks Jet
