I did not read all the responses so my apologies if this has been mentioned already. The problem with most stereo volume pots is that they are not balanced very well. Even some of the better pots such as the Alps Blue will have this imbalance at low levels. I throw away 3 out of 10 pots I buy due to this imbalance.

Another option would be to replace the 100K pot with a 50k pot. This will give you more usuable range from the volume control and also possibly allow the pot to get past it's low level imbalance before the music comes up. With the Audio Note preamps, they come on strong to begin with so this would help kill two birds with one stone.
