I agree, mini-jacks suit me alot better that large ones.
I made some convertor modules that convert mini-jack to large jack
for when I'm patching to my Korg MS10 or SQ10 but generally I prefer
mini ones. Alot of people used to complain about the connections on
these doepfer jacks but the only problems I have is when I use them
with doepfer supplied cables, EMIS cables or ones I've bought from
music store work perfect.

Also, the discussion about re-mounting doepfer faceplates. I was
going to suggest something like the technosaurus with jacks in there
own faceplate, look nice I think but ALOT of work!
