[sdiy] Cliff Sockets

[Seb Francis]

It's a mystery to me why they still bother making the CL1384.  Even 
using Cliff's own jack plugs the contact with this version of the socket 
can be unreliable.  Whereas the CL13841 contacts much better, even with 
plugs with sub-sized tips.

I have said this before to Cliff's sales guys but they don't seem to 
have an answer.
