Oh, I haven't seen that before I posted my last message...

So after 22 years Trident/Toft are still having the same problems?

In 1985 I've bought a Series 65 board that had the same "characteristic"... and the reply from their representative (in person, right in front of me) was:

"what did you expect from a board at such a low price point? we could have avoided this "problem" if we used pots with no center detents, but then you would have to center them by ear"

To which I replied that if they were going to use center-detented pots, the least they could do was to use pots that detented at the real center and not with a 1dB difference from side to side... making the non-detented pots a desirable thing.

But time passes and the problems and responses don't, as we see:
