Default Re: A Cautionary Tale

One solution to this problem is to fit a resistor at the bottom end of the volume pot so it isn't possible to turn the sound down completely.
Good idea, but I bet one day I will want it just a smidge lower! And one at the top so it can't be turned up too far, I find all things with a volume control go up too much. This makes gentle adjustment of the volme difficult. Adding a top resistor can move the used bit to a clean bit of a noisy pot and let modern lower value pots i.e. the ones you can get these days be used for repairs.
