No, no you don't loose the XLR.

About the parallel pins.

Soldering the connections for XLR absolutely makes sense!

Do you suggest that all the pins for one output should be used for best result? Is there be room for Cardas binding posts if you remove the originals? Separate posts with this insulator:  http://www.cardas.com/sbpi.php.
Or some other binding posts from WBT for example...

Sorry for hijacking your thread JohnnySix.

@ ogs
No, don't use all 7-pins. I used 2 and it sounds  just beautyful. Best would be to drill a hole into the mainboard and solder directly onto the board. Or even better to solder on to the next electrical part in the signal path. But then you have to rip of the mainbord. That's for the next time for me.

The Cardas in the link seem to be for loudspeakers since they are very long. They won't fit. Perhaps there is a shorter version? Other than that I consider Furutech's new 'low mass' series.
