I'm trying to get an overall sense of what people's objections are. It seems that the mini XLRs are OK, but just OK, but suspending the phantom power eliminators has caused problems for users? I've used mini XLRs in lots of projects for more than 25 years and found them to be OK. There are lots of different manufacturers now, as opposed to back then, and thus some of them are not as good as others. And mini XLRs as opposed to regular XLRs don't inspire confidence. They tend not to make a really positive contact when snapped into the socket.
As for regular XLRs, there are no 8-pin XLRs. At least I don't know of any. And 6-pin and 7-pin XLRs are very rare. I can't get them in the type that I prefer. What sort of multipin connectors do folks here like?

More seriously ... my cones give out before my rods ... so big black and white numbers (or any glyphs) is still easier. Remembering the torch is even easier. And ... of course ... a six, seven, eight pin XLR 'plug and play' would cut out the 'human' element altogether ...
