@bugredmachine I was reading your extensive list and I am impressed in your research and the amount of cables used in 14 months. Really looking at this list you could not even approached the MFR break or burn in period for any of these cables. So I am not sure how you could make the determination you did.
Also could not find this Zafino cable on their site Zavfino 2 mtr XLR's Keast.
