Thanks for the advice guys. Yes, TT would be more efficient in the long run however getting someone to solder for me in my country is an even bigger hassle than buying leads. Also, the bantam leads are more expensive no? Do you guys solder your own TT bays because even though I practiced a bit of soldering, and I know people who do, I'm not willing to take the risk to trust someone else to do it and am definitely not willing to mess something up myself. 1/4" in my eyes would be an easier option. I'll definitely colour-code everything and seperate patch bays neatly, but as far as the expense goes, I seriously think that getting bantams and TT bays would be more expensive.
The site I use sells TT bays at 400 euros whilst a modest 1/4" patch bay is 40 euros ( talking about the Neutrik ones from thomann.com for the Europeans).
Even though its 24 for the 1/4 vs 96 for the TT, I calculated that 4 1/4" patchbays to cover 1 TT bay would only cost me 120 as opposed to the 400.
Now the leads come in, well, the TT would be more efficient since the back would be done with normal copper wires whilst the 1/4" bay would need more 1/4" jacks like the front. Am I getting this right?
So, I see your point Ben, and in the longrun it will definitely be a hard knock.
I guess it comes down to analysing more or less all the patchbays I think I'll need once I have an approximation of the gear I am going to need for my studio and evaluating the difference.
Cheers again!
