Bought one from some guy on modretro forums, decided to mod it myself. I didn't have a soldering iron so I did it at both my friend's (dsv101) house and my highschool.  I traded my boring, grey case with dsv's awesome painted case, and viola, fucking sexy-ass DMG at my fingertips.

Fucking sexy art! The tunes are great so far too!

I never said there was for sure a significant difference; perhaps there's none at all. I'm going off of what I've heard from other people. Perhaps larger surface area = stronger connection, and people use it for the same reason they use thicker wire and gold-plated connectors. I think most likely the issue is that 1/8" cables are thinner and overall less durable than 1/4" cables, along with (although less notable with) the male and female connectors. So it's not necessarily that the size will modify the signal, it's just that the 1/8" cable have a higher chance of disrupting the signal. Again, I am no expert on the issue. I may be wrong on certain points and you, as an electrical engineer, most likely know more about the subject than I.

This. While there may be some difference in sound, there really is not enough to completely justify using 1/4" (Unless, perhaps, you're going for some high-quality lossless audio release). Most (non-dj) mixers use 1/4", so having a respective jack greatly simplifies one's setup. 1/8" plugs right into most computers and commercial headphones/earbuds, and for that 1/8" is preferable for quick and efficient recording/listening. It all just depends what you're planning to do.

Woooooo

The NSF import just uses rapid commands instead of instruments. That is the programmer manually changing the pitch very quickly. Famitracker has a built in vibrato command, which you can find on the effects table under help.

PS that is vibrato. Vibrato = pitch, tremelo = volume
