Rode microphone - Spacer in XLR socket

<<Apparently new Rode mics are now shipping with a spacer fitted
inside the XLR socket. This is to allow a tighter fit on poor quality
XLR connectors.
Some users are having trouble fitting good XLR connectors because of
it.>>

Neumann has been doing this for many years, to eliminate any rattling
from loose connections. I find none of my Switchcraft or Neutrik
connectors latch onto the mic with the spacer in place.
