I have a home brew Conrad Johnson clone pre amp. It sounded good. Never leaving well enough alone I decided to upgrade the volume pot. I went with the Goldpoint and it sounded excellent, but over time I could not live with 2 Dbs per click. I then tried the Khozmo as it has 1 DB per step. Good sound as long as I did not make volume changes. When I did there were clicks and loud noises that I could not live with. Nor could my tweeters as my rig is active tri amp.

I have just installed the Tortuga LDR board and can say that it is the be all end all of volume controls. It is dead silent and any level changes are seaamless and silky smooth. I believe the vision of the Melos circuit of the mid 90s has finally been fullfilled. If you must have the absolute best, look no further.
