As promised I just posted our 2018 photo on the "best customer ever" thread

Neat layout, thanks for the update Chucky. But now we know those nine DIP switches are there you'll have to tell us what they do otherwise we'll all just have to fiddle with them to try to find out!
...oh, and there was me thinking they would reveal all kinds of hidden world domination type functionality being kept secret until SMV2's were distributed around the planet awaiting activation remotely by evil genius Chucky deep in his underground Involve Audio lair!The unit has multiple program memories for all the different modes, the dip switches are used in the program setup.
^^^^^^^^^^I can't wait to get one of these things. And then comes the reveal...
AR: "Hey, you remember quadraphonic decoders?"
Guest: "Yep."
AR: "Well take a look at this one."
Guest: "Oh, how neat. You got hold of an old SQ decoder."
AR: "Old? What do you mean old?"
Guest: "Those things disappeared in the late '70s."
AR: "Uh...dude...take a look at the production date."
Guest (with mouth open): "2019? Whoaaaa....Coooooool!"
Hi Gang, its Santa Chucky
Fresh photos from China of the new SM main board all built. I should receive it next week!

I was looking at the RCAs mounted directly to the smt board and was thinking about how some of my cables have uncomfortably high clamping (excessive interference fit issues). Do you recommend using low grip RCA cable ends to prevent physical damage to the board RCA interface?
I’m confident that your design insures that connecting/disconnecting mechanical loads will be constrained by the plastic RCA socket body very securely mounted so that it’s limited motions are being distributed into the metal chassis.
... but once products are released out into the hands of the unwashed masses, we observe the phenomenon of uniquely gifted individuals ‘out there’ able to exploit some unanticipated pathway toward the destruction of even the most robustly bulletproof designed and executed products.
So my question is:
How resistant are the RCA socket bodies to being “torqued-off” the board due to the applied forces resulting from very tight cable ends during connect and disconnect cycles?

The boards are a thing of beauty to me. And it seems so unusual to look at a decoder with not a single trim pot!
Me to!Not trying to rush or pester (I always want things built right the first time, even if it takes longer!)
In regards to your post: "Creepy....use your wide angle lens!"
Sorry, just tired of listening to music on DPLXII here:

I'm ready for some tight beams

Me to!
Got the prototype board in and we are testing it......lots of stuff ups (Dave the bitch did not do the layout.....was too busy). We are stumbling through it as I type.
Didn't you have to be ready for a major show in January?
