Sheeshe...I probably will go to surface mount at some point. But for now I'm kicking it olde school.
This particular project uses some analog IC design styles implemented with hand-matched discrete transistors; diff amps, current mirrors and so forth. So I'd need an efficient way to hand-match surface mount transistors. With TO-92's I can just slap them into a rig and collect them into batches. Surface mount? I dunno. Do they even make SOT-23 sockets?
