Mark Levinson 23.5: camac or RCA?


Hi,

I just bought a 23.5 and I have camac connecors. My interconnects are RCA to RAC Audioquest Colorado (I do not want to change them).

1) IYO, should I convert the camac to RCA connectors on the amp.?

1b) what type of RCA would you suggest (I generally like WBT products-would it be a good choice in this case)?

2) If I keep the camac, should I modify my Colorado the make it a RCA to Camac cable?

My preamp is a Conrad Johnson pv14sl2

My source is a AudioNote DAC 2.1B.

I like all kinds of music.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Just put the shorting pins in the Balance input of the amp pins 1 and 3 then go with RCAs the straight to the output of the Pre. you don't need any adaptors, they only degrade the sound.
As I remember my 23.5 didn't come with CAMAC, as I remember only the "27" and "23" came that way. the ".5" were Balance and RCA only.
If you check the Manual for the 23.5 you will see that they state you should do it the way I stated above, also from what I remember regarding the 23.5 that amp did not come with Camac connectors, but I could be wrong. its been a long time since I had that amp but I do know Krell (which is my present amp)does it the same way. and I think Ayre amps as well.
