showing my early modules.QuadVCO took about 200 wires maybe.
With stranded wire it'd look like *total* mess, with solid wire it's only
mess. It's all 0.5mm telecom wire from Amphenol 25-pair cable.
Being solid wire it alowed me to route them in straight lines and sharp
angles, and they stayed there.
I'm not saying stranded wire is bad, it's just easier to do wiring with
solid
one when there are no moving parts involved
