Default repairing connector on shure super 55

Are you talking about the XLR connector or the 5/8-27 threaded hole that
mates with a mic stand? The XLR insert is replaceable. If you've
actually worn out the stand mounting hole, how? What kind of stands have
you been using with it? The Super 55 model was introduced less than 10
years ago. Yours must have really been abused. Are you sure the problem
isn't with the stands that you're mounting it on? With the rash of cheap
stands around these days, you may have some with slightly undersized
threads.
