Is there an adaptor which will connect to two XLR
cables (my blue cables) together or is it better to
just purchase a 50' cable from another manufacture?

Have you ever looked at a mic cable?

I have now . The XLR cable does have a locking
mechanism on the female end but not the male
end.

That's because it's male and the locking mechanism is on the female end!

I can't believe that you haven't figured out that male and female connectors
are complementary.

On the MPA Pro the XLR has pulled off because
it is only a friction fit.

That's what you get for buying snake oil products.

OTOH, in my stereo system the XLR locks/docks in on both ends.

As it does on any decent piece of equipment that has XLRs on it.

I assumed the Blue cable was deficient and needed
an adaptor to lock two cable together. It is now
apparent that the MPA Pro is deficient because it
lacks the locking mechanism, not the cable.

Seems like you need a little more of that "empirical experience" stuff.

Cables lock together in serial just fine. Just like you to make
a tempest out of a tea pot.

Look Powell if you hadn't have been such a butthole about so many things
over so many years, I'd cut you some slack.

It seems like karma is another common, simple concept (like male-female
mating) that you have no clue about, Powell.

As they say, the best revenge is living well. It's clear that you're in a
hell of your own making, both on RAO and off.

Remember, this is the guy who rattles on about
other people's lack of practical experience and
empirical evidence.

Studio microphones and the associated equipment
are new to me.

So it common sense, it seems. Congratulations Powell on cornering the market
on out-of-date overpriced, underperforming snake-oil products for the studio
as well as your past exploits in home audio.

Was I suppose to divine my
knowledge base without trial and error?

Your confusion about how XLR connectors work is really quite unique, Powell.
I've never seen a person fail to determine how they work from simple
inspection. Even kids in grade school seem to figure this out!

Its not my fault that recording equipment is sub-par in
construction quality to stereo equipment.

Not all of it Powell, just the obsolete snake-oil piece you decided to make
the center of your world.

From the ART web site:

"Currently, ART addresses the Dynamics Processing market with a broad range
of audio tools. ART introduced the Tube MP Microphone Preamp, which set a
new standard for tube mic preamp price/performance expectations."

IOW Powell, ART's claim to fame is that they know how to garbage up mediocre
solid state gear with thermionic noise and distortion enhancers, on the
cheap. They freely admit that their products exist to reduce dynamic range
from live performance levels to that of FM radio pop pap.

LOL!
