On one hand, Dunlop says "Dunlop Electronic Parts are offered for sale with the qualified technician in mind." On the other hand, I don't see a datasheet anywhere.

On one hand you have the high price, and the other hand is the picture on their website of the individual retail package (an absolutely unnecessary expense) that says Made In China.

The pots themselves could be good, or they might not be. I'd be more inclined to give them a chance if they made them in more than 2 values.

My gut reaction is that Bourns http://www.bourns.com/products/proaudio/products probably sells a similar or better quality pot at a lower price.

I started off building using Bourns pots from Apexjr along with Alpha.

However; after using CTS for Mojotone I never looked back. Use CTS on everything.

I tried NOS Clarostat and others, tried PEC but had trouble with them, they are sealed and not uncommon for them to need a cleaning or something is wrong internally on many in my experience.
