I don't understand this attitude towards RS at all. If you don't like it,
don't buy from them. You now have a zillion alternatives right through the
internet.

Not on Sunday afternoon when the transmitter is down and the boss is screaming
at you and you're trying to explain to the man that you want an XLR plug with
four pins, and not three, and he's telling you that nobody uses XLR plugs any
more.

That's your fault for not having backup parts in the first place....and
besides - why not just look around yourself. Radio Shacks aren't that big -
ignore the sales guy and just find the plug yourself.
