I think the answer is YES - the encoders have a little play in them, and spin really easily because, as you know, they ARE encoders. I have older gear with luxurious-feeling controls ... but I never gave the Omni VII knobs a thought and had the radio several months before anyone told me I should not like it.

I don't think we should compare the feel of these new encoders to the feel of the older pots and other controls. Apples and oranges sort of thing. Different ways to skin the cat. (Additional cliches deleted...)

But, this is just MY take on the matter... your mileage may surely vary - and at the price we paid for these little gadgets, ... well... you are definitively entitled to an opinion ! ;-)

Happy Trails.
