Marantz CD-17...want to run XLR


While I am new to all this great hi-fi stuff, I have a basic question...so please don't laugh

With my recent purchase of a Krell KAV-400xi, I would now like to purchase balanced Interconnects (XLR). Unfortunately, my Marantz CD-17 Player only has RCA Analog Outputs.

1. Does this limit me to strictly using RCA to RCA?

2. Is there a RCA/XLR Adapter?

Thanks

I think you may still get some improvement out of the Krell if you'll use the RCA-XLR adaptors.
But you will not fully utilize the Krell's balanced circuit. You can try though and see what it'll give you.
