Your work looks great. I have no doubt there is an improvement over the original ICs. As for the jack question, that is exactly the approach most high end arms take with no issues. My later SME 3009 II has jacks as does the Souther TQ-1. Such provides more flexibility with cable length and characteristics. Just keep the jacks and plugs clean with Deoxit!
