The preassembled 1105 literature states that they have rhodium over pure copper XLR connectors. Additionally, they do not appear to be solid runs, but more of a solid group/stranded one. I also await your experience with them.

In terminating bulk 1105 to XLR connectors, with the multiple shields and the absence of a drain wire, it would seem to make sense to solder a small wire to the shields at each end for simpler termination to the shield pin.
