Eagle question

I am sure these footprints are available in Eagle, pretty standard.

What I do in cases like this, in the schematic, select any part that has the correct footprint and pinout, and later rename it to the part I want it to be. But then you have the 'link' to the footprint for the layout.
Not sure how that would work in Eagle but there should be a comparable method.

If you can holdup oh i dont know maybe a day I'll do the thing for you...however annoying it might be.

If you wonder how it's done the google "custom components in eagle" and there should be this quite old tutorial with eagle 5.6.X where this german guy shows you how it's done PROPERLY aswell. Btw it's on youtube.

What that means is that you have to tell Eagle what it is you want to edit or move etc. For that, the selection filter lets you select the item type you want to work on. You set it to parts, tracks or text (probably a few more options). So, select 'text' and then you can modify it.

On the layout: delete that N$1, and re-route it nicely from the pad at J2.
R1: go from pin 2, to pin 3, then to R4. It doesn't change the electrical functionality, but the pictures in Stereophile look so much better ;-)
