The situation will be different with resistor ladders and the like, but don't conventional pots (e.g. ALPS) have an optimal sonic operational range, which is usually about mid-way between min and max?
The psychological factor
Since I got a new amplifier a while ago, I have hesitated putting the volume control on the preamp past 12 o’clock because that was never a good choice with previous amps. I was afraid I would overload the system. I now find that factor was depriving me of the best sound I could obtain.
Placing it now at 12 or above, I’m now finally enjoying what the amp is truly capable of.
I wonder if anyone else has experienced anything like that.
