Is an unbalanced preamp a bad thing?
A preamp that I am using doesn't have XLR connections. I have a balanced amplifier and a balanced streamer.
Is there a disadvantage in not having a balanced preamplifier? Does it really matter?
Op - "I am borrowing a Conrad Johnson preamplifiper and it sounds very nice but to my surprise I couldn’t use XLR cables"
