The old Cannon plant in Australia is now operating under the Amphenol
name and selling some nice XLR connectors.  They are NOT the old 
two-screw kind that Cannon used to sell (which I kind of miss).  They
are ALSO not the Switchcraft clones that Amphenol made in the seventies
either.  But they are nice connectors and a lot of folks carry them
and I recommend them as much as the Switchcraft and Neutrik ones.
