I've only seen the machined d-sub pins with crimp connectors (like on the B&C website). I'm fine using those, but several articles on your site show d-sub connectors with solder cups. I assume those can be found with machined pins, but B&C doesn't carry them. Do you know where I can get these?

Sure, check the catalogs for any of dozens of
electronics suppliers for high quality solder-cup
connectors . . .

However, know that there are NO D-sub connectors with
solder cups that are machined pins. There are certainly
some high-quality, solder-cup connectors. But the only
reason I produced the article you saw was to accommodate
folks who were installing a system that was supplied with
solder-cup connectors and didn't want to buy new connectors.

On occasion, I find it useful/practical to salvage and re-use
a solder cup connector when my preferred choice isn't
readily available. But I haven't purchased a new
solder-cup connector in probably 15 years. The ability
to pre-terminate wires with the best pins we know how
to make . . . and correct wiring errors with a simple
extraction tool is a VERY powerful personal incentive.

Here's some good sources for solder-cup d-subs:
