Welcome Chucker, 
Just curious about "ML"-- at first I thought it referred to Martin Logan, but then you wouldn't be installing a pot on a Martin Logan.  
Asheville is a beautiful area.  You might be interested to know there's an annual audio festival not far from you in Bryson City-- it's called CarverFest.  I attend every year (Sept. 9-21).  CarverFest is basically a two week party with a bunch of older Carver enthusiast jamming and building tube amps, drinking and chowing down.  Bob Carver usually attends as well.  You don't have to be a Carver owner-- anyone is invited to drop in-- it might be a good day-trip for you.  
Enjoy the AC!
