I’ve been known to “upgrade” the my pots. And when I do, I sometimes get aluminum knobs instead of plastic. I like the heft of them for some applications.
Now I’m looking at upgrading some faders, and I’d really like to give them more weight by replacing their knobs with something metal. But while there are, like, 80 suppliers of aluminum knobs for pots, I can’t find anything but plastic ones for faders. Is it just a bad idea? Too expensive to manufacture? Or am I just looking in all the wrong places?
