replacing the volume control in an inexpensive pre

TKD makes a very good volume control but you have to make sure it will fit inside the unit without much modification. I used one in an old Counterpoint preamp that replaced the original carbon pot. The new one is a plastic pot. I looked at the better volume pots but they could not fit in my unit. I spent many hours researching the information on volume pots and this TKD unit happens to be very good for the money. Look at the Counterpoint website (altavistaaudio.com) and do a goggle search for TKD, the model I have is 2CP-2511 (stereo pot). I have an extra one that I would sell if you are interested since I sold the other Counterpoint preamp I owned at the time before I installed the pot.

Happy Listening.

I don't yet have the pre-amp, just bought it here, but the seller says that it is loose and creates an uneven balance when "wiggled"

For now I am trying to do some research on what is available and get some opinions on them

The quality of the volume control is one of the most important if not the most important aspects of a preamp. Is the volume control broken? If you are not going to use something significantly better, there is no real reason to change it.
