Terribly sorry. You are of course right about this. Been a while
since I visited your page, and I apparently remembered wrong .

Absolutely agree. Resistors and other parts are generally very cheap,
and as you say pots and knobs is the more expensive parts. Then
again.. if building a high quality module I wouldn`t want to save
money on anything.. I`d rather pay a bit extra to get good quality
pots and jacks.

Thanks for great input on this. This is very useful info for me as a
newbie. I`m sorry if I`m asking to stupid quiestions :)
