[sdiy] Re: Hertz Wars !

[Rob Mantel]

Taking this thread back to this point I have to say that I am still very
impressed by this great and original idea. It indeed is so painfully
obvious, that it's hard to believe no one ever had or mentioned this idea
before.

I don't think this concept will limit me too much in experimenting with
weird sounds, if I really want to connect two outputs I could still do that
if I made a specially marked bright red patch cord or something like that.

Anyway, like I said, I am impressed, and I am considering using this idea
for all my DIY stuff. However, since I have some pretty, nice and expensive
front panels, that I definately don't want to remake I have a question.

Does anyone know of any good banana jacks available, that will fit in the
holes of my front panels sized for 1/4" switchcraft jacks?
