Hey folks. Haven't been here in ages due to ongoing health problems. Good to be back!

SO...I bought some CTS 500K matched pots for my LP and 2 vitamin q's. This whole time, I thought all pots were the same besides for their resistance value.

Today the pots came in, and I was surprised to see two of them were labeled "audio" and two of them labeled "linear."

Basically, I'm "59-ing" my LP out. With regaurds to that, my question is which ones should I use for my volume controls and which ones should I use for tone?

Thanks for any help!
