The 4-wire connection

I am wondering how many here are using the 4-wire connection (instead of the traditional 3-wire/quarter-inch headphone jack.

If you don't know about this, the 4-wire connection sounds instantly better, the sort of thing you can hear in a second. I had heard about it for a few years, and in experimenting with one of our preamps (the MP-1, which drives either 32 ohm or 600 ohm directly) I noticed this in spades.

Is there a consensus on the connector to be used (two XLRs or one 4-pin XLR)?
