Drove to Philadelphia, watched Thomas score in the game that got his pee wee hockey team into the playoffs, and then went to a sports bar with the team to watch 60 minutes of great hockey followed by the greatest travesty in the history of hockey.
I'm not concerned about stepper to stepper matching, but amp volume to amp volume matching. Given the lack of fine granularity in level setting, I just can't imagine they're the same.
did you measure the output of each at the specified level to verify the levels match? Given the steppers, it seems really unlikely that they're exactly matched.
