I've just recieved my K1 and - unusual for me - I'm thinking about what I am
doing before applying the solder.

I notice there are a number of DIL parts - relays, etc. The kit does not
have DIL sockets for most of these parts. Having 11 thumbs I would use
sockets by default.

What do people think about this issue - would there be performance/noise
problems or loss of warranty?

Thanks
