I tend to agree Beemer - the Sonic Frontiers is another case in point. But there are also amps that have balanced connections that are not internally balanced at all. These tend to sound worse when using balanced cables, than with RCA.
Balanced vs RCA preamp output
I have an Aragon 8008 BB power amp,200 watts /side,the latest generation Rega Planet cd player,Nordost Solar Wind speaker cables.The amp has XLR and RCA inputs.I am looking for a tube preamp to use.How much difference is there between the XLR and the RCA type of preamp output and the other?Some preamps only offer RCA.
