The knobs appear to be plastic. Can anyone please confirm? Curious if they “feel cheap” when turning them? Thanks much

These knobs are designed to be tactile and reflect a "high-end" feel, complementing the aluminium front panel of the units. They consist of two large knobs for input selection and volume control, along with three smaller knobs for tone control (bass/treble) and balance.
