[sdiy] Which 1/4" Jack?

[Oren Leavitt]

Switchcraft 1/4" jacks here, too.

I like the plastic enclosed 111A and 112A jacks for synth patching - 
these have a light (but positive) grip on the plug that makes it easy to 
change patches frequently - you don't have to yank the plugs out.

I'll use the open-frame 11 and 12 jacks which have a much firmer grip in 
places where I don't want plugs getting disconnected too easily - like 
on power amp inputs.
