It all depends on the application really, my problem with steppers has always been that they've been on headphone amps designed to drive vastly different loads. That's a bad application in my opinion. In a speaker amp I suppose it would be possible to tailor the gain (assuming it's adjustable in the design) such that you'd have plenty of adjustment. But again with some tube speaker amps (highish gain) I'd be hesitant to invest in one prior to testing the amp with a traditional pot to see where the listening sweet spot was.
