Okey Dokey, I'll give those a try.

Hadn't thought of that! Two problems though... 1) the pot's mounted on a pcb
and can only be oriented the way it is - it's a tight fit. 2) (as someone
else mentioned) these headphones aren't actually THAT old... 2 years or so,
and they do seem to have a Log taper on them. This wouldn't normally be a
problem except that I always keep 'em way down so nobody can hear the weird
stuff I listen to :O).

Thanks for your help!
