Every single mic cable I've ever owned that had neutrik XLRs on the ends
has failed -

bull****

somebody steps on the conector, the plastic screw-on
strain relief cracks, and the connector falls apart. I stopped using
them after a couple of dozen, so I've probably only owned about 30
connectors that broke.

Patch cables, and snake ends are a different story, they don't tend to
get stepped on as much.
I have hundreds of mic cables used on stages all over the east coast
acts from hard core metal to gospel chiors
what you saying simply is not supported by experiance

you at the very least VASTLY exagerating your claims, IMO your simply not
being truthful
so you have a axe to grind BFD
either that or the artists and help you have haate you and they are
stomping your cables just to spite you
I have seen the following drive over my cable ends without fails
a Bulldozer(cat d-6)
a 33000 lb truck
a zamboni
a Hillclimb motorcycle with huge chains on its wheels
hundreds of cars at car shows
a abrams tank
again
your claims just sound like ouright bull****
keep proclaiming them if you like
but I don't buy it

I'm with George on this. I have just run over a Neutrik XLR in my car about
20 times and I can't break it. How about someone with a truck doing the
same thing? Oh, George has already done that.
