Thanks, X. I know Audience think they are the cat meow, based on an e-mail exchange I had with them. I understand that their locking nature would be a good thing and that they supposedly provide a large contact area. Surprised others here don't have more to offer here since cable design/conctruction seems to have quite a numbero f experts, and otherwise. May be not enough are in use. Plus, not many components come with them so there are not many cords with them either.
