For line levels, for me, nothing else comes into
consideration but thoroughly gold-plated, gas filled
relays.

Wrong.

For speaker-level signals, a combination of both
silver-plated and gold-plated heavy duty contacts with
strong spring action (meaning contact pressure) are a
good choice (if one has to switch speaker-level signals
at all, something I don't like to do at all).

Wrong.

Switching an audio signal at microphone- or phono
cartridge levels is almost not possible without suffering
from signal degradation.

Wrong.

Keep up the good work, Sander!


Is this the difference between someone who has built and repaired many
amplifiers, and someone who just read about them? ;-)
