I'm at my wit's end here...

As many of you may know, I build my modules to the Eurorack format, using 3.5mm jack sockets.

The problem I have at the moment is that I've found some jack plugs (particularly the ones I've just purchased) just don't fit snuggly causing all kinds of havoc. I've heard a rumour that jack plugs from the US are slightly different to "eastern" manufactured ones (commonly available here in the UK), and that the end pin on US plugs are shaped differently, and fit correctly.

Can anybody confirm this, or am I just going loopy?

If anyone can point me to somewhere in the UK where I can purchase US plugs, I would be most grateful.
