I apologize in advance if this is getting far off topic, but there is a blog that reviews audio equipment purely on the basis of “knob feel”. It is deeply silly, but you know, I can’t really disagree. There are lame knobs, good knobs, and great knobs. The feel of a big audio variable attenuator? That’s a sweet knob, hard to replicate in the digital era.
