Better XLR's

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

I only use

They are very expensive but you never bother with connectors again and you can change cable to your hearts content.

I have tried Xshadow previously
