Svart said:in all this about using sockets for ease of use, has anyone been able to measure an audible difference between using a socket and not using one? most sockets specify a fairly high contact resistance which theory makes me believe would build up over the course of a few ICs to add noise.. am I thinking correctly here? I'm not saying i can even hear it but has anyone ever bothered to measure it?
just a thought, no big deal, I use sockets for everything anyway.. :green:

Not something I would worry about..
Though I'm sure you could find audiophools that would claim something else..

Another plain question about sockets, just for curiosity, I'm not stressing in any way about it.
Why thre's sockets that cost 0.08€ and other that cost 10 times more 0.8€ , the so called Audio Socket?

there's any reasoning behind this or it's just Audiophool stuff?
