i purchased mine inadvertently, considering you're spending so much on the amp already, why intentionally put something in that is an unknown?

I remember reading an article where the chinese made fake ALPs measured better (tighter tolerance of resistance) than the real ALPs. That was a one off measurement, not a statistic from comparing a batch of each pots.

 

Anyway the reason you want ALPS however, is to improve transparency right?

 

The guy who regularly sells presoldered stepped pot with dale vishay resistors on taiwan ebay for around $70 sounds like the best deal to me so far.

 

Actually the best deal is to swap between a few pairs of very high quality holco resistors to get the volume u want... considering the $$$ vs sound hehe.

Wah, good idea. To add on for little flexibility, you could just get a 2 way 3 position selector switch, solder the predetermine resistors values for Low, med, High volume.

does the alps really sound more transparent?? or is it jus the $$....
