Pots! What brands are good?
#4
Hi makinrose

As TUTs say, magazine reviewers and most players lack the technical knowledge to state categorically that any specific component is "bad" let alone that an entire class of component is "bad". In your relationship with your customers, YOU are the technically knowledgeable party so it is YOU that decides if a pot is good enough for you to install. You end up either hand-holding your clients, or just do the job and do not discuss parts other than that parts you use are what you know to be good.

Some techs let the customer dictate component choice and let the chips fall where they may. This is particularly sad when $$$ parts like transformers are in question. Of course, if a customer like that comes along you are not obliged to accept their work.

Speculators on the internet are simply that: speculators, which in this case means "guesser", "gossiper", "parrot" - take your pick.
