XLR Connector Comparison


Has anyone done a head to head comparison between different XLR connectors and have impressions to share?

Furutech vs Vampire vs Xhadow vs other

bronze/gold copper/gold rhodium plated other alloy combinations

Thanks

Dave_b - You paid $6k for those cables or they "retailed" for $6k? I guess I will have to buy a pair of these Monster cables and put them up against the Jade Audio cables. 8-)
Retailed, I payed $3200:O) As they break in the sound get's closer, although there may be a smidge more energy on top with the reference cables...program dependent and mostly with material that has alt of upper freqency energy to begin with. But hay, for $100 vs $3200 duh!! Can you say no brainer:O)
Holy markups Batman! I am looking for some XLR ideas for a DIY cable and I checked out those Bochinno's whick looked excellent until I saw the tag on them! I mean triple digits on a set of copper spades! Last I checked, copper was not that rare nor the technology that advances on silver plated copper. Looks like I will have to check out some of those other brands mentioned. Any other manufacturers use solid copper pins with silver plating?
Mtdking - I have tried Xhadow and while they are good I believe Bocchino are better.
Abruceaudio - they are expensive as blazes but if your are a restless DIY person they will pay for themselves quite soon as they are so easily reused and they have the advantage of being very good as Jadem6 describes
