Does the volume control effect sound quality?


I recently had to change my volume control in a Dynaco pre-amp. I could not find the exact part, but based on specs, chose another dual gang control. However, it seems like the sound quality has changed so my top end is not as pronounced. Am i imagining things?

Thanks

Atmasphere, I was trying to understand your post and if I read you correctly, are you saying that the circuit has to be engineered to accept and maximize sound quality for any particular type of volume pot?

There are some audio engineers that think a good standard volume pot will outperform many of the other more expensive designs. Croft is one of them.
