very nice! Will there be pliers and hotglue or similar crazy-glue
available so that one can permanently fix the dials of the soundcard in
question? I'm planning to bring a UA-25.
It's discussable if a calibration by averaged potentiometers will last
very long,
It only really needs to last until I return from LAC.
At home I can do proper soldering and also calibrate other soundcards
once I have a proper reference.
Hot glue is good to make SATA connections inside a
case stable etc.,
especially because hot glue is easy to remove, but since hot glue
tends to be UV-sensitive and easy to remove, it seldom last very
long outside of a case. Loctite likely is the better glue, but likely
the potentiometer never can be readjusted anymore, if you use Loctite
for screw locking.
good points. Well, I'm open to suggestions.
best,
