November 20, 201312 yr The feel of the knob played a big part in my decision to return a piece of gear to the store last month. I like that site.
November 20, 201312 yr Actually I'm probably going to surprise this group, because the feel of the knob has never been that important to me. It's all about the back of the unit for me. Is it user friendly? Easy to plug into and unplug? Is it wide or narrow? Yes, yes, I dare say the back of the unit is much more important! Of coarse this is all relative...In my world if you happen to already have a fantastic knob, then finding another fantastic knob seems less important. On the other hand, if all you have is an undersized, small diameter, unsubstantial feeling knob, then I quite understand that the quest to find the perfect knob takes on a higher significance. Either way, whether it's the front of the unit or the back of the unit that holds more appeal for you, it's more important that we all respect each others individual preferences, and come together for the greater good!

I do believe I see what you did there. Bravo
November 20, 201312 yr I don't get it why this seems so weird. Even with reviews like this you can spot that the knob is indeed important (maybe the DAC2 has an even better one) So I hope the toggle switch of the Lavry will come as well (although I have to admit that I use the remote).

November 20, 201312 yr ... So I hope the toggle switch of the Lavry will come as well (although I have to admit that I use the remote). Uhm... this sounds NFSW. Steve's comments were much more tame.
November 20, 201312 yr Post of the month, Steve. Outstanding work. ...if all you have is an undersized, small diameter, unsubstantial feeling knob, then I quite understand that the quest to find the perfect knob takes on a higher significance. Actually, it really doesn't. Or...uh...so I heard.
November 20, 201312 yr I don't get it why this seems so weird. You obviously haven't watched any of the videos.
November 22, 201312 yr Uhm... this sounds NFSW. Steve's comments were much more tame. Wanna know why this place is called head-case?
November 22, 201312 yr When I was re-doing the cueing mechanism on a tonearm I learned that knob feel can be all about the lube. (Indirectly, of course)Take a floppy and sloppy knob, slap on a little of that number four-zillion grease and we're talking high-end.
