If I've heard right, Neutrik is basically the industry standard for XLR cable connectors. How about 1/4" connectors? If you were making your own cables (and I know some of you do) what 1/4" connector/plug would you use?
The Neutrik's occupy a good amount of real estate, though they are seriously nice plugs. I've had to make concessions on my board for fit. I don't know if I would have went with another brand if I could do it all over. Maybe...
