This connector isn't just made, it's engineered - with CNC machined male and female connectors boasting a wall thickness of 0.6mm. It's not just about what's on the outside, though. Inside, the Connector is cryogenically treated with an audio-specific formula for better sound performance. Plus, its short housing aids in superior cable management.

ℹ Product Information

ETI-Research Kryo XLR Connector

Immerse your senses with the groundbreaking ETI-Research Kryo XLR Connector, meticulously crafted and optimized for unparalleled sound quality. Never before has ETI-Research released this style of connector, showcasing our dedication to relentless innovation. Exploiting the precision of modern CNC machining, we've surmounted the engineering challenges that stifled lesser designers, constructing an exquisitely intricate female connection. Where competitors settle for inferior copper-alloyed male pins, we've focused on balancing mass and capacitance to eliminate sound distortion. And while other connectors use brass-formed female connectors, we've stayed uncompromising, unimpressed by the cost-saving expedients of others. We've painstakingly machine-rolled copper to create uniform female connections, rendering them more stable and improving sound delivery. Our obsession with perfection led us to a surprising revelation - the sweet spot for low voltage connector thickness is a precise 0.6mm. No more, no less. With the ETI-Research Kryo XLR, we've refined each aspect of the connector design to ensure this perfect thickness, using durable Tellurium Copper that's able to withstand the demands of long-term usage. Relentless in our pursuit of elegance and sound clarity, we've applied a bespoke cryogenically treated audio formula across our range, including the Kryo XLR. The male and female copper machined connectors are silver-plated without nickel interference, encapsulated in a brass housing for optimal vibration damping and EMI/RF noise reduction. We provide you with the ideal environment for pure, unadulterated sound. As part of our commitment to excellence, each package includes one male and one female connector, ensuring the optimal pairing for your sound system. It’s not just an XLR connector – it’s an aural revolution, crafted by ETI-Research.

Features of ETI-Research Kryo XLR Connector:

  1. First-of-its-kind CNC machining: We're breaking new ground by introducing the ETI-Research connector using modern CNC machining. The result is excellent precision and high-quality female connections.

  2. Optimized Thickness: With ETI-Research's commitment to sound purity, thorough research led us to the perfect wall thickness of 0.6mm for your low voltage connectors. We stuck to this thickness to deliver your music, untouched and unadulterated.

  3. Refined Copper Construction: Both male and female connectors are crafted from Tellurium Copper, known for its durability and long-term usage. Conquering previous hurdles, we've successfully used rolled copper to create uniform and stable female connections and delicately balanced mass and capacitance in our male pins to avoid sound distortion.

  4. Superior Plating and Housing: Both connectors are silver-plated without nickel interference and are encased in a brass housing. This gives you unrivaled vibration damping and impressive EMI/RF noise reduction, enabling pure, clean sound.

  5. Cryogenic Treatment: A signature of our Kryo range, this specific audio treatment has been applied to the XLR Connector, carrying forth our tradition of enhancing sound quality and component longevity.

  6. Convenient Cable Management: The ETI-Research Kryo XLR Connector accommodates cables up to 13mm, and with an insert in, 9mm. It also features a short housing, offering a practical solution for better cable management.

  7. Pairing per Package: Every package contains one male and one female connector, ensuring the ideal coupling for your sound system.

Benefits of ETI-Research Kryo XLR Connector:

  1. Unmatched Precision and Quality: The advanced CNC machining employed by ETI-Research ensures each part is made to perfection for optimal sound delivery.

  2. Ideal Sound Quality: The 0.6mm thickness and balanced mass and capacitance result in the least possible impact on your music's sound, ensuring clear, high-quality audio transmission.

  3. Long-lasting Durability: The use of Tellurium Copper in connectors guarantees the longevity of the product, assuring it can withstand long-term usage without quality degradation.

  4. Pure, Unadulterated Sound: The combination of silver-plating, vibration damping, EMI/RF noise reduction and our specific cryogenic treatment eliminates distortions, delivering pure, unaltered sound for your pleasure.

  5. Improved Cable Management: The short housing concept for the Kryo XLR Connector provides optimal spacing, making cable management easier and more efficient.

  6. Perfect Pair: With a male and female connector in one package, we ensure the perfect match to elevate your audio experience.

ETI Research Kryo XLR connectors

Have been eyeing these for a while now but glad to have bought them and not a minute sooner. Clearer and cleaner sound with some improvement in dynamic range as compared to my previous Neutrik XLR connectors. These Kryos were soldered onto my ETI Q100 interconnects, an oldie but a goodie interconnect, which is surprisingly better sounding than a Nordost Blue Heaven LF or an Analysis Plus Solo Crystal when compare side by side in my system.

ETI Kryo XLR, in cable building

The plugs are beautiful to look at, and to handle. Soldering was easy, with such good access to the tabs, and not too much mass to act as a heat sink. A portion of the shaft (used to screw the outer part onto) was easy to solder the drain wire to (at female end, for the earthing shield only). The accommodation of large cable sizes is excellent, in fact the biggest reason for choosing these plugs, as I also chose Neotech NEI-2001 Ag cable, of 11.5 mm diameter. With heat shrink added, it was a very snug fit (a little too snug in fact). One reservation I have is that there has been no attempt to fit locking clamps to these, as is standard on eg Neutrik plugs. But considering that they are probably only used between expensive static HiFi devices, this should not be a problem. Also, there is no numbering of the pins, but of course they should be wired to the known standard anyway.

The Black Pearl Power Cable is a pretty substantial piece of kit, superbly constructed - it beats the usual black kettle lead hands down on looks and construction. It is however, fairly stiff so you need to allow it to hang in graceful arcs - no sharp bends. Being heavy it also needs a little support so it doesn’t drag on sockets at either end of the cable. Has it made a difference in the sound? Well, I have made so many changes all at once that I cannot definitively say if it has or not, but I am pretty sure that those electrons are having a whale of a time running along the conductors in the cable, and this hobby is all about joy!

The Cinema 30 is the direct replacement for the SR8015, but it is chalk n cheese in terms of sound & build quality! The 120fps issue switching between the PS5 & XBox Series X is gone via the VS3003 8K switcher to the one 8K HDMI input - all HDMI inputs are 8K@ 60kHz or 4K 120kHz/fps! I bit the bullet and shelled out for the Bass Management & Control add-ons to DIRAC product @ $AUD951.54 and the results are astounding compared to the Audyssey room correction of the SR-8015. Currently using a 7.2.4 setup as it's not possible to do 7.4.6 yet. The Cinema 30 is a GREAT looking and sounding piece of hardware, handles DSD128 multichannel tracks via HDMI from the Reavon UBR-X200 effortlessly & DSD64 multichannel from the Eversolo DMP-A6 Masters edition also via HDMI. I wasn't expecting DSD128 to work but VERY happy that it does. I do miss the analogue multi-channel input that the SR-8015 & my older Yamaha units have, so that the DAC on the Reavon can do the conversion & output in analog. I am unable to compare via a shootout between the two units to determine if there are any audible differences to me. Well worth the cost of the upgrade❣️❣️ Many thanks to Vaughan for his quality, no-nonsense expert advice, throughout the long fault analysis & attempts to rectify of the 8015 by the authorized repairer and organizing the replacement unit. I purchased the SR-8015 elsewhere before I knew about the team @ The Audio Tailor & have never looked back.

The sound stage is open with lots of space around each instrument and the stereo imaging is great. Another thing I really like is the ease with which I can stream music (which my previous amp couldn’t do). I don’t even need to turn on the amp. I simply select the H120 in my streaming channel and hit play. It wakes the H120 and starts playing. Here too, the sound is excellent. I’m very happy with this purchase and the people at Audio Tailor have been great to deal with.

It is possible to damp the legs, but this involves considerable extra expense in buying effective damping material. The top and bottom plates also have a ring, but that is more easily and cheaply damped, with a little d.i.y. effort. Atacama really need to go back to the drawing board for this one. I will eventually get around to damping the legs, but until then, the stands are an expensive shelving system.
