Just got a Tayda order with 3 painted and drilled enclosures. It took about one month from placing the order to it getting here.

He definitely loves a bit of drama. He’s alright though. I really liked his Keith Jarrett and his Julian Lage interviews.

Isolationism.

I also think having all manufacturing out of the country is not a good state to be in. It’s pretty risky to be so dependent on foreign labor. And I also think that if you want to bring that kind of production back in the country you should start by investing in R&D and supporting innovation and...

Gotcha. The BOM specifies the Tayda stereo jacks so I was confused by that...

I guess I could build 50 of these, or maybe the special edition SMD TS? What else, what else?

I have one more question: why does this need stereo jacks? And how should they be wired? I only see signal and ground pads on the PCB?
