I have a Pioneer Integrated amp that I bought 35 yrs ago and it has linear control, volume increase's proportionately to how much I turn the volume knob. I have an Emotiva pre/pro and it has to be turned up to near 3/4 before it starts putting out substantial volume which feels disproportionate. I often see complaints in other forums from people saying they have to turn up the volume quite high and are concerned something is wrong with their receiver. I am with matt on this one, give me linear any day.

DOG is GOD spelled backwards.
What others think of me is none of my business.
