RE:CAT SL1 volume pot mod

I replaced the volume pot in my CAT preamp, with individual mono pots, eliminating the balance pot...why? Cuz the original pot has huge steps which combined with the CAT massive 26dB line stage gain made late nite listening challenging, one click down=too low, one click up=too high.
The new pots has 48 steps(verses 23 of the old), much easier to find the just right level for my late nite listening sessions.
Eliminating the balance pot made for a nice improvement in separation/soundstage width and other subtle gains in SQ.
