Mixed Jacks

[Troy Sheets]

Does anyone have first-hand experience with banana plugs/jacks not providing
enough signal shielding?

For me, banana plugs/jacks all around (except, of course, for outside world
interfacing) are much easier to construct and  piggyback and are more 
reliable... and I don't have any shielding problems that I can hear.  Oh, 
they are cheaper too.

Of course, I use my asm-1 for psy-trance music, so maybe leaked signals
would just make my sounds that much more wierd and interesting... ;)
