Why that one?

There are other 1/4" jacks which are much nicer.

Neutrik part number
NMJ6HC-S
is a personal favorite. Great price, feel, and reliability.

Here you go:
Planet Waves Stereo Jack, Gold Plated

I used them on my ß22 build - they're nice.

LOL ... It didn't have to be exactly THAT one. I'm going with ALL gold plated jacks ( power, headphone, ect ) to try and add just the smallest bit of warmth.

The locking Neutrik is VERY nice, but is so large when your face plate is extremely nice looking. The one in the link looks perfect.
Thanks !

Have I told you that you're awesome? That's going straight on to my bijou!

The B22 requires that the output ground be isolated from the enclosure/AC ground, but that nice looking gold 1/4" jack doesn't meet that requirement.

It does when the jacks are mounted to a piece of Glastic such that they don't actually touch the enclosure.

But yes, you'll have to find a way to isolate it from the front panel if you wish to use it.
