RE: Tempting!




Image: EIZZ platinum XLR, Mogami 2549 Neglex cable

Be aware the Wyred 4 Sound cable features silver plated copper conductors, which is a different animal than pure silver when used as an audio conductor. The stock XLR connector appears to either be Neutrik or Switchcraft, with performance equivalent to that of an ordinary Neutrik or Switchcraft RCA connector. As a substantially inexpensive option, I would suggest a set of platinum plated EIZZ XLR connectors for a solderless DIY termination project using cryo treated Mogami 2549 Neglex from Take Five Audio. The eBay seller shown below is reputable IME and offers the EIZZ XLR at a substantially lower-cost than the going price. Disregard the information indicating rhodium plating; the EIZZ XLR features platinum plating:
