Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?

@brunomarcs "Once you post any political realms, you just lost all credibility with any and all who disagree with you. Why would you bring that to an audio forum? " Good question. I also belong to the Acoustic Guitar Forum. Either it's rigorou... 
Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?
@bkeske  Apologies for my failure to communicate more clearly. I certainly didn't intend to take up so much of your time with this!   What I attempting to point out was simply that I find it very difficult to ascertain the relative spacing when ...

Input/Output jack spacing on Schiit Loki Max?

The one, the only Garth Hudson.
@bdp24  I look forward to hearing more from you on this topic. Perhaps you could contrast him with others such as R. Manuel, Nicky Hopkins, Bill Payne, Keith Godchaux...  
Food: What does the typical audiophile eat?

@soix  OK  
Acoustic Zen Matrix reference II IC
