Xhadow XLR connectors.
In my opinion, these are one of, if not the Best XLR connectors ever made. But I believe they are no longer made. So, I am looking for a replacement.
Other than sound quality, what I also liked about the Xhadow connectors was they have set screws for making the connection rather than having to solder.
Anyway, any other XLR connectors that I should consider that is similar to the Xhadow?
Here is some more information.
"The Xhadow Precision XLR is easily the finest XLR in the world, designed with respect for the audiophile perspective: Precision, purity, simplicity and elegance.
The main barrel and rear-nut are lathed from pure aluminum rod-stock and anodized in "Xhadow Gray" for a durable and non-conductive finish. This assembly houses an internal strain relief that is machined from brass.
Into this barrel assembly fits our Gender-Modules - either male or female plugs. Each one has an outer passive shell machined from brass and mirror plated, a machined Teflon dielectric, and pure copper machined contacts that have been silver-plated. Each contact allows the termination of wire to be completed via solder, set-screw, or both. This gives the end-user a tremendous amount of flexibility while also allowing them to guarantee a fantastic contact interface with their wires. Each Gender-Module is engraved with the "XHADOW" name along the top arc of the shell's front border, indicating top-orientation.
The fit of these connectors is smooth but very strong, with a tremendous amount of contact pressure to ensure perfect and consistent signal passage with a minimum of contact resistance."
