in that every one I've ever used needed to have the tips tightened.
Which means, that I was wrong about the size of soldering iron you needed for the jacks. The 100 Watt soldering gun from Radio Shack works just fine if you make sure the tip is on tight.
I'm looking at my first board, it's gorgeous. :) The tin plating really complements the Cardas jacks, and quite by accident, the metal film cap and the Vishay/Dale metal film resistors go together really well too. I'll try borrowing a camera over the next week so you can see what I'm talking about.
For now, I must clean up my desk, put all the parts away, and start studying. Wish me luck!
