[sdiy] keeping signals seperate..avoiding noise

Hi, Harry:

Where do you get these nylon washers?  I've been looking for these for quite a

I agree about the nylon threaded jacks.  The only ones I've found that seemed 
to hold up were made by Re-An (looks like they're now part of Neutrik).

Thanks,
