Re: Volume pot upgrade question.

Could be something else but I'll rule out my cdp or phono since the problem remains for either source. My amp is an unmodified ASL Tulip which I don't associate with this hardness. Probably the modded pre. The upgraded caps are Black Gates and Auricaps which have a pretty good rep. I suppose the increased resolution may have highlighted weaknesses in the chain. The only questionable replacement was a pair of 16 pF silver mica caps (C11 and C24 if you care to look at the pre schematics, right after the wiper). Maybe I could replace the original plastic stereo pot and see if I notice any trace of this steeliness.
