Doepfer

James Husted wrote that many folks shy away from Doepfer due to the 
fact that they use 1/8" mini jacks. For me, this was a godsend, since 
it allowed me to connect everything quite easily to my (purchased
after 
the Doepfer) Analogue Solutions and Wiard modules. The only time I
use 
1/8" to 1/4" cords is when I 1, hook up to the mixer or 2, interface 
with my Big Briar lowpass filter. I realize it's all about personal 
preferences, but the small jacks make more sense FOR ME. Here are a 
couple sites that set up the jack wars, for those who are interested:
