The Neutrik and Rean 6.35mm, 1⁄4" jacks neither mono/unbalance nor
"stereo"/balanced fit to the jack sockets of some gear. I've got very
bad experiences with Behringer gear and btw. the Behringer gear's female
XLR sockets don't provide a locking mechanism. Mating cycles and mating
reliability seems to be out of style.

If somebody should be aware what 6.35mm, 1⁄4" jacks can be used for the
ADA8000 please let me know. Neutrick and Rean are a PITA, at least for
the sockets of my ADA8000.

SATA connectors also suck, even hot gluing old SATA connectors doesn't
help much.
