Better options for internal wiring

Made these up so I can use 1.27mm pitch computer ribbon cable

Neat idea, Kevin.  But rather you than me soldering up that ribbon cable!

I'd go with IDC sockets and box headers:

Wrong fluid, and won't work in our climate, but I really like this. Mistakes easy to see, leaks obvious, repairs out in the open.

Yeah ok, this would normally be inside a wall but other than that: How else would you do it? Seriously, I have never seen any pipes installed any differently than that except in the most make-shifty of applications.

Managed to source the male counterpart to the machined sockets.

Also bought a few different JST connector sets with different pitches (pre assembled and not).

Will take measurements when everything arrives and spin a new version of these preamps to use them. Luckily this will be the last version of this particular circuit.

Question: How much crosstalk should I expect with flat cables? None, I think, but maybe someone has more experience.
