Doepfer

Thanks for all the responses and thank you Dieter for your input and 
clarification. It was mainly the stiffness I was concerned about, I 
don't doubt the quality of the wire or the plugs, as the rest of 
your gear is top notch! I find that the stiff cables stick out more 
when they are plugged in and I get my fat fingers caught on them too 
easily. 

Any idea when the newer more flexible cables will be available?

Cheers,
Adam-V
