So I am just looking for a thumbs up on my the parts I selected. I am going to build a new cable for my HD650. So I need the driver plugs and a 4-pin XLR. Also I need to build a 3-pin XLR interconnect for my dac to amp. I have a bunch of copper and silver plated copper wires I can use at work. I just need these plugs. So my parts list is below. Let me know if you recommend a different part and or a different site to purchase from.
Thanks.

Why don't you just buy the 3-pin XLRs at Redco along with the 4-pin?

Sorry I just posted my old list before I found the Redco site. I will order all XLR connectors from Redco. Thanks for pointing that out.

So I guess I will order these unless anyone has any other suggestions.
I will post pics once I am done.

There are dozens of places that sell 4-pin XLR plugs. I would look for somewhere local to yourself to avoid shipping hassles and go from there.

I used a Neutrik 4-pin XLR on my K702 balanced recable and it works great. Good quality, relatively easy to find and inexpensive. I plan to use the same connector on my upcoming HD650 DIY cable.

Redco actually has very reasonable small-order shipping, and their prices are right too.
you can look for somewhere local, but I wouldn't bother myself too much about it
