Doepfer A-100C200

I was in need of some particular lengths of Doepfer cables for my portable Eurorack and these fit the bill perfectly!

I have a tool/camera case converted for portable Eurorack and it is often away from my main recording interface - I have some hacked together self soldered 1/4 inch to 1/8 inch guitar cables and while they work I needed something more sturdy and less 'homebrew' to connect my portable and home rig - or - portable rig and MOTU Ultralite. These fit the bill perfectly.

These were perfect. I know some modules don't play nice with Doepfers choice of jack but personally I have not had a single issue. These are low cost and low feature - until you need that exact length and then they are just perfect!

Pros - exactly what I needed when I needed them. I haven't needed them for 7 years but I did this year and they were perfect! Good value for money. Consider also a dense patch - the Doepfer cables have a very narrow 'barrel' so you can get at your modules knobs without too much clutter. Many higher cost 'braided' cables have a lot of plastic around the shaft and can make patching two close together a mechanical strain on the jack sockets - not so with these.

Cons - Some modules dont seem to lock the jack end in fully and can lead (sic) to a feeling that the cable will fall out from the module. I don't know if this was a thing with initial Doepfer cables or with the modules themselves but I did not have an issue at all with these cables.

As soon as I need more I will be buying these cables instantly. I have a number of Doepfer cables I bought with my initial entry into Eurorack 7 years ago and not had one go bad yet. I have bought fancy, multi coloured cables from other manufacturers that arrived DOA.

Highly recommended.
