Nah. He's just yanking my chain. In a friendly way.Is this true @tomchr ?

I've yet to see anything I like in an LDR volume control. They do offer the potential of better channel matching, but as you can see in Amir's measurements, channel matching is not an issue for me.LDR volume control embodies everything Tom is NOT looking for.
I make my design decisions based on science, engineering, and measurements of prototype circuits. I will occasionally add a feature or steer the design in a certain way so I can get a marketing blurb, but only if it can be done without degrading performance or increasing cost. Some manufacturers put more emphasis on marketing than I do. That's fine. We can all coexist and others are free to do things differently. The consumer will decide in the end. I commend Amir's efforts to make consumers more informed by making troves of data available.
