I had enough trouble getting all of my household stuff to New Zealand, glad I didn't try to bring any cars. 'Course, driving on the "wrong" side of the road made the decision somewhat easier...

That is some seriously gorgeous grain!


I've heard they sometimes painted incredibly nice grain just to meet orders. One has to wonder how many more of these gems are out there hidden under a layer of paint...

... economics took over and most audio pots these days are not actually logarithmic. Instead, they just put in two different linear sections with different curves which approximate a log curve. The way I hear it most of the time, these newfangled AT pots do a pretty poor job of imitating the real t...
