Better XLR's

It would be interesting to compare the Cardas Clear XLR vs the Xhadow Precision XLR. Xhadow claims these to be "easily the finest XLR in the world". Who knows.

i have spoken with a new cable manufacturer who does a lot of custom work...he has the option to offer his customers any kind of termination. i like his cables...Sablon Audio...FWIW, has elected to use Xhadows.

I like the Xhadow's also but be warned that the pin diameter is slighly smaller than most others. Also, when inserted into some jacks they don't make a "click". Expensive too.

good to know...they always advertise tight fit...how can that be if pin diameter is smaller? is that even safe given grounding issues?

I`ve been usin Deltron XLR for decades, take a look inside the female plug and you might understand why
