Re: [Doepfer_a100] Problems with power headers

I do not have this problems with a Doepfer only system, though i 
transport it in the car also on some bad roads.

Are the cables original Doepfer manufactured? I assume the problem is 
related to frequent transports of your system. If this is the case, you 
should wath out, that the system is transported always upright. If the 
system is laying on the side, the connectors might follow the force of 
gravity.

Do you disconnect and reconnect the cable quite often?

Do not use any kind adhesive tape! There are comaptible types of 
connector/socket, which have a locking mechanism. The replacement is not 
really easy, but could be done by a person, who is experienced 
desoldering multipin sockets.
