Just out of curiosity, is the 950's volume control the same finely crafted device that is on the 1050?

Using my volume knob on the 1050 is like taking a short trip to Wonderland. Turning it quickly in either direction seldom results in a lasting change. For example if you turn the volume up quickly and it goes up a little then down a little all without changing direction. Sometimes the net result is no change at all! Turning the volume down to zero so I could run the calibration test took over a minute. A sort of down 2 up 1 down 3 up 3 down 2 up 1 type adventure, that makes the quality of the knob itself irrelevant.

Its certainly not something I can explain to my better half, so as I ponder an upgrade, I am hoping the 950's volume control actually works.
