I've been reading that also about them. I think some sold recently in the FS forum for that reason.

They're great looking, but the tolerances during making these seem to be , mmh, how can I put this delicatly, not sooo small.
Neutrik XX-HE rocks!
And as jacks Neutrik NC3FD-LX-HE


Hi,
I looked again at the XX and the XX-HE. I see that the HE are High Temp, but couldn't see much else. Can you elaborate about the differences?

I read that. Doesn't tell me much about why there is a huge difference in cost. I'm looking for someone who has used both and can elaborate better than some Marketting description.

No difference, biggest and only difference is cosmetic.
They perform the same

nickel housing, silver contacts - X
black metal housing, gold contacts -X

nickel housing, silver contacts - XX
black metal housing, gold contacts -XX

nickel housing, silver contacts, crimp termination - XX crimp
black metal housing, silver contacts, crimp termination - XX crimp

velour-chromium housing, gold contacts - HE

black metal housing with Swarovski crystal, gold contacts - B-CRYSTAL


Hi,
Thanx for the PIX and explanation. What is Velour Chromium? Never heard of that one.
