Sorry to anybody if I came off as Blacet bashing.  That was not the
intention.  The intention was to point out that it takes another $50 in new
pots, jacks, and such to bring one up to the standard of quality we all
enjoy with MOTM.  I own two of the Blacet modules, as I was curious as to
how they were.  No offense to those that built them stock.  I just couldn't
do it.  My hatred for mini-phone jacks is only surpassed by old PAiA style
4700 pin jacks.  And, the dang knobs are just too close together.

> PAiA 9700 too!

I have two of the PAiA MID2CV8s from the 9700 series.  I was NOT impressed.
 I waited two years for them to come out.  Then, once I found MOTM, ended
up getting a Kenton anyway.  However, they were worth what I paid for them.

I would not disagree with this.  I think I will find a niche for the two
Blacet modules I have.

These are great ideas for a modular-stupid guy like me.  Keep 'em coming. 
I'm taking notes.
