"Gold plated" ones,  no doubt.  :-)

Nice to see I'm not the only one who really dislikes those,

Speaking of which,  I'm *still* looking for a schematic for a phono preamp 
that's usable with both magnetic and ceramic cartridges.  I've ssen 'em, with 
switches,  but haven't come across one for sale nor have I had any luck with 
finding a schematic out there.  Anybody know of one?

That's the thing,  I have about 4 or 5 shelf feet full of old vinyl that I 
haven't touched in oh,  6 or 7 years at least.  I want to get it on to 
HD. :-)
