In the past year I have gone to a all krell/thiel system. Krell recomends going balanced if you can but the equipment must be desinged balanced. There is a 6db increase in S/N. Initally I used higher end RCA's then I ordered cheap balanced interconnects to test the therory. The cheap 15.00 balanced totally blew away the Single ended 100.00 plus cables! I later purchased more apropriate Strait Wire Bal. but surprisingly no great improvement over the cheapies but they sure look cool! Ken Martin
Mix of RCA Balanced Cables. Is it ok?
I have been advised against using RCA and Balanced cables both in the same system. I was told that unless you have balanced cables all round, you are wasting your money. How true is this?
Does anyone know if RCA to Balance converters actually work? I think there are 2 types, one is the little plug kind and the other is a chassis kind. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
