Cost isn't much of a factor to me. I was more interested in just
plain contact isolation. :) I find that the jacks hold phono plugs well
enough. It's not like they are going to wobble out or that I'm going to
try to suspend myself from a ceiling from them. :) Individual
preferences apply here, and I was only warning people who might consider
using enclosed jacks.
So, Chris, don't worry that you didn't account for everything, I got
the problem solved, and that's really what counts. However, on this new
panel...don't make it too cramped, 'kay?
