This problem is only with the st-9100 preamp and not with the ugly or the 9000 preamp.

Any chance you could update the 9100 with a different knob, then?

Perhaps a multi-step switch, allowing +db in specific increments (i.e. +0, +5, +10, +15, +20, +25, +30) ?

Small rotary switches are very expensive they are at least $30 a switch... The type that would fit inside my preamp not to mention the fact that the cost of the extra 1% metal film resistors would add + you would still have switching noise. I will work on this problem.
Maybe I will offer it as an option I dont know.. We will see.

Interesting discussion.

I don't have this problem on my 9100, but it would be a nuisance, as the R09 does not lend itself to volume changes when settings levels at a gig in my circumstances. I quickly tweak the level using the 9100.

Chris - as I have no intention of opening my pre up, how much bigger would an Alps pot be, than what you have already fitted? Too big probably, but I'll ask anyway.

Great info. Appreciate it.  :)
I'd heard lots of things about the R-09 unity gain setting. I've seen 8, 13 and even 18. I really don't know what to think.
But I'd love to know. ;)

I will do a test tomarrow and let you know what it is.

Chris



Great ;D. This mistery must be solved, Chris ;)
