OK, everybody, I've been gritting my teeth up until now, but
PLEASE STOP. Statements like this have ABSOLUTELY NO FOUNDATION
and in fact, can cause a 'snowball' effect like, "Gee, MOTM sounded so great,
then Paul switched to SMT and now...pffttt!" or "Well, I *was* going to buy
MOTM but now I heard they are SMT and don't sound as good." and then everyone
wonders "what happened" when I go the way of Oakley :(

Also, does anyone *really think* I would have a MOTM-440 SMT version that didn't
sound *EXACTLY* the same as a thru-hole one? Come on......

What everyone has to realize this that "just idle speculation" turns into
"absolute fact"
on the freakin' Internet. So, unless you have a EE degree, *DON''T SPECULATE*.

Crap, next I'll hear about changing wire color effects VCF resonance or some BS.
