RE: ATTENTION DUSTER-SAN!!

Hi Dawnrazor,

The VR012 XLR connector is what I chose as my final option after a number of XLRs evaluated. Hollow silver plated tellurium copper male pins, Teflon dielectric, but unfortunately a poorly designed strain relief mechanism, with a very large opening and minimal clamping force, but it's not a deal breaker, since I handle my cables with great care, never yanking them out of a jack. I use enough 3M Nexcare Flexible Clear First Aid Tape (adhesive-backed perforated polyethylene film tape) wrapped around the end of the cable to provide a somewhat sufficient grip for the task.
