That's interesting info. When I spoke to BE, they were praising the channel matching, 'as demanded by Quad'. I have yet to get samples out of them...

I've recently realised that the £12 Alps 'Blue' pot pretty much has the best overall L/R tracking of any modern pot. The TKD CP-2500 at 6x the price has 'image creep' below -50dB from full rotation (not in all cases, but it means around 1 in 3 or 4 have it, which is annoying for such an expensive part).
