Well, I must respectfully disagree. I have 50 year old equipment that
uses standard "open" 1/4 jacks and they work just fine. Ditto for my
PAIA gear from the 70s--and those jacks were anything but expensive.
And I confess that I dislike the "buttery" feel of switchcraft jacks.
However, I have been reminded that some MOTM pots mount to the board,
so I can see why Paul wouldn't want to make the change. If I had my
way, there would be NO pots or jacks, as I will be reformatting my
MOTM modules into dotcom format. (∗Gasp∗)
Speaking of which, my MOTM 440 is already on its way! What is this,
Encore? :-)
