alpha,cts?
12mm,16mm,24mm?
Full Shaft or Split Shaft?
is there any difference?

hey there!  i use alpha 16mm pots.  i would consider using other brands, but i like the alphas, and i order from steve at smallbear (and that's what he carries)

^^^^ I'm with him

[JimRayden]

Alpha 24mm whereever I can fit them.

16mm with lack of space.

16mm split shaft if the knobs say so.

Same here.
Sometimes 24mm but always solid shaft.

  Course I like the ones that work, so I test 'em, and I like the small ones, otherwise I use whatever I got, generally preferring new ones, but it doesn't seem to matter as long as they're not damaged.

Alps "snap-in" (pcb vertical mount). Saves a lot of wiring

[MartyMart]

Mostly 16mm Alphas, some 24mm's solid or split.
For the split I push some small plastic between the teeth to make it
stiff for attaching knobs otherwise knobs twist when turned around

MM.

of course you want it to suit the knob.. most of the coolest knobs seems to have the D shafts... unfortunately you have to cut the pots down to size to suit where as with the split shafts they are usually fine. anybody else notice this?

[slacker]

just to be different Citec, 20mm, D shaft. Or whatever cheap surplus ones I can get my hands on.

Taiwan Alpha's from Smallbear, though I would like to try out some PCB mounting ones sometime to test m,y board layout stills.
