Converting from CAMAC/FISHER to XLR connectors


i recently purchased some Cello equipment which uses
camac/fisher connectors for the ic's between the pre-amp
and amp. The number of merchant's stocking ic's with
this type of connector is virtually non-existent. I have
two choices; 1) Buy XLR ic's and replace the connector
(does anyone know if this is a simple task, especially
with exoctic ic's such as Siltech?) or 2) Replace the
connectors on the amp and preamp and start using XLR's.
Mark Levinson/Cello was always adament about the superiourity of CAMAC/FISHER connectors, is this truth or
fiction and has anyone else tried this solution?

Rather than go to all these risky solutions which will affect resale value. I'd talk to Siltech. They will probably be willing to reterminate the cables for you. While this may mean some delay, it will be much safer and not damage the long-term value (who doesn't prefer a factory terminated IC).
