I'm just not happy with the solder job I did at the headphone jack. It's just such a mess that it's beyond solder wick. I just want to cut it out and start anew.
1. Is there anything to be gained by buying a pricier jack?

2. Anything to be gained by swapping out the resistors on the jack, like a Vishay Dale metal film? Any suggestions? How critical is the 2.49 kohm spec? What happens if I use 2.7? How critical is the 1/4 watt rating? Is 1 watt OK? How tight should matching tolerance be, 1% OK?
Thx
