Big Knobs

[freQ(*)Oddio]

I like cool knobs , I have recently seen some Vintage Kenwood Models with extra long and large volume knobs , but I’m not sure I like this one . Any favorite Nob votes out there.

I hesitate to answer that "question" and will take the 5th on it!

I feel like I was drawn to this thread by false impressions. So you’re saying you don’t like big knobs. Well, I adore knobs.

speaking of doorknobs. I’ve got a lock on mine. Somehow I’ve got to get from lock on mine to Luxman. I’ve got a Luxman somewhere around here with very big knobs….or at least one huge centrally located knob. I’ll take a quick look and see if I can put my hands on it and take a pic. Got it. Check out the knob on this one.

I went back and looked at your original post again. I apologize. You weren’t saying you didn’t like big knobs. You were saying you don’t like knobs that stick out too far. That makes more sense. Still feel like there are false impressions indicated by the name of this post.

I like these big grooved volume knobs as seen on some mid to later 70's HH Scott gear.
This is my HH Scott 390 R.

I like the big tuning knobs. The bigger the better!

I guess I meant the one on that model in particular looks like a afterthought. i fixed my post thanks ! I like the big knobs , I’m a G series Knob Fan .

While I like big knobs, I prefer a nice full ass

Sometimes big is all about prospective. I like the size on my preamp. It also has a nice small ass.

I kind of like the Harman Kardon "ghost knob" they used for a while-

...although nothing feels as sensual as a properly flywheel weighted, ball bearing tuner knob.

So true. That was one of the selling points for me when looking to buy a tuner.
Give it a spin and the tuning needle glides across the dial.

Still not sure how Harman did that "knob".
It rotates like 270 degrees.
That leaves the middle hanging by about an inch of plastic, or it means the ring/knob has 270 degrees of no support.

Not sure I even want to see one opened up. Magic won't go back into the hat.

I have a vintage analog frequency generator that has a hat shaped knob that's as big as a tea saucer on the outside edge.

There is something very satisfying about turning that, even though the part you actually touch is about 2.5 inches or so.
