I choose to buy a good quality Amphenol XLR connector and a Foster 8 pin connector and a bit of 2 conductor shielded cable and make my own.
Strongly agree, EXCEPT that, for nearly 30 years, Switchcraft and Neutrik have OWNED the market for pro audio connectors because of their exceptional quality AND their very nice redesigns to make them a LOT easier to terminate. Amphenol is still big in some RF connectors, but I don't remember the last time I saw an Amphenol XLR that wasn't at least 30 years old. BTW -- for almost that long, I've been a member of AES Standards Committee Working Groups, including ones that address Microphones and Connectors.
