Re: Post-PI master any good?

dale	Re: Post-PI master any good? never quite understood the theory that this sounds a lot better than pre pi. i did a couple amps with a post version, but i never found it to sound better than a pre pi master at stage volume. maybe at low levels i can see why it would be a bit better. besides, it's hard as hell to find dual ganged pots these days in the right value, and they are never close in that if you turn the pot part way in thier rotation, then check the resistance of each one, they are usually quite far off. how much that affects thier performance in this application, i don't know, but maybe someone here can jump in and explain. dale
