Never heard of these before 'Bocchino BAXLR' - interesting though.

Personally, I like the Furutech FP601/602 or the CF601/602R versions. Both have superb connectivity and build quality but as mentioned already, they are a little pricey. You only have to handle them and look at the build quality to realise what a step up in quality they are compared with Neutrik plugs, not to mention the fit.
Indeed, I've never heard of them either but yes, they do look interesting.

The actual latching and contact elements of the Furutech couldn't look more like those of the Neutriks - but with fancy looking bodies.

I think the Switchcraft XLRs are pretty good too. Heavy stainless steel bodies no less so almost indestructible
Some of our BAXLR's against the CF 601/2 Furutech. The Furutech are solder connection, the Bocchino are set screw.

Actually you are wrong.
The OP wants to know:The general acceptance seems to be rather different to what you assert. And once again, you definitively state that the one you sell is 'the best'. Tout your stuff on a sales thread David, that's what they are for.What are generally accepted to be the best XLR plugs
It seems to me that asking which plug is "generally accepted" to be best is only slightly better than asking which IC or mains lead is "generally accepted" to be best. People argue their favourite all day and little gets settled.
I've heard it said that true balanced amp designs are not fussy about cabling or plugs... but truly balanced designs are said to be very rare in hi-fi, not easy to get low enough impedance out of the preamp. So does that effect whether one balanced cable or one xlr plug sounds better than another? I don't know. But my balanced HT sounds slightly different from my Vampire.
