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

I found the Neutriks to be soundly beaten by the Switchcraft and neither came close to the top of the range Furutechs.
Rhyno, my comments above are based on exactly what you say - the exact same cable but with different connectors. The Neutriks are not fit for the best interconnects, say $1000 plus a pair, but are absolutely fine for interconnects that compete with interconnects up to say $500. Don't take me too literally on that, I am just giving you an indication that I rate them up to a point. I have used over a hundred of them but would recommend you try the Switchcraft for around the same price. The top XLRs are sadly also very expensive, but have to admit I don't have a heap of experience of the Vampires yet.
