The Parasound 3500 amp has the capability to use RCA single ended connects and run either positive, negative or both for a balanced single ended operation. However Rock is right, it takes 2 cables to be balanced this way. Your preamp or CD player would also have to have both pos. and neg. RCA jacks. Or you could do it the easy way and use XLR connects :-)
Balanced Interconnects??
Hello, What exactly are balanced vs unbalanced interconnects? I'm looking at some of Audioquests new line of interconnects, particularly the coral, to use as an interconnect between my Rotel integrated amp and CD player. Some of their cables are double balanced and others like the coral are triple balanced.Should these cables be used for special applications or equipment? Any info you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.
