Re: Potentiometer

If you're looking for good potentiometers, I would suggest Spectrol or Bourns.
I have a 10-turn Spectrol pot myself. Its linearity is rated within 0.25%.
(typical pots don't HAVE a rating for linearity)

Of course, feel free to try a cheap potentiometer, and see where it gets you.
