The best XLR plugs

[Ali Tait]

Where do you get the Yeager connectors Marco?

Sorry for any confusion Paul I was referring to the guys who recommended the Furutech and BAXLR plugs I always think of you as the man with the speaker skills
cheers Paul

[Marco]

Indeed. I'd have to say, Paul, that I never viewed your preference of XLR plug as an attempt to push any product. It was simply your opinion, of which you're entitled to. I also respect your professional experience on the matter.

As you say, you don't sell XLR plugs on their own, so how anyone could view your comments as a sales promotion mystifies me - almost as much as Martyn's rather bizarre 'strop'

Basically, all opinions here are welcome, unless they have a blatant agenda, commercial or otherwise.

No worries Paul and my apologies for any over-reaction but understandably I don't wish to get tarred with any brushes. Sorry again, I shouldn't have had such a blunt go. Peace.

Hi Ali,

From Paul Hynes, dude. Dunno where he gets them from, but I'm sure he'd tell you. They're ace, though! Definite 'no-nonsense' high-quality connectors. They come fitted as stock with his DCSXL pure-silver DC leads

Again, my apologies for the over-reaction Marco and to everyone else. Not like me at all to do that. It's just the thread doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense if opinions are being called for and the opinions of a few are being dammed because they favour something more exotic and not perhaps for the reasons assumed. I understand and accept fully just why some might draw the conclusions they have. Its possibly the first time I've admitted that I like the blinginess of a connector and that's possibly the most embarrassing admission of all

Ali,

Paul mentions the Yaeger connectors here in the trade room: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...Power-Supplies

All products are custom built to order.

DC7CXL fine silver DC lead £082 (with silver plated XLR typically 3 milliohm)
DC7CXL fine silver DC lead £112 (with XL low impedance connector > 1 milliohm)

All DC lead prices are for 1 metre lengths.

As you can see, he has measured the impedance of the connectors in milliohms, and the Yaeger (XL low impedance connector) measures much lower, in that respect, to the XLR (Neutrik) plugs he offers, yet he only charges £30 more for his DC cable fitted with Yaeger connectors.

Clearly these professional connectors are not subject to 'inventive audiophile pricing', and so offer very high SPPV. The Yaeger certainly smoked both the Neutrik and Furutech XLR plugs, which I tried, on sonic terms (perhaps because of its lower impedance) - and you ought to feel how solid a connection it makes!

The Yaeger really inspires confidence in use, and that together with its sonic prowess, made it a no-brainer choice for me

Marco.

It's not those here I want to 'save' from themselves. It is those in the wider audio community, being conned by sellers with no moral scruples.

Yes, most agree with me. Somehow we need to ' get the message out .' Martyn .

Don't worry about it, Paul - we're all human!

Careful Martyn - morality and legality are two different things. 'Being conned' implies illegality and, so far, there is no law against charging a high price for audio plugs.
