Yes, use the balanced inputs. You will be amazed at the difference the amps sound in the balanced mode (I have a pair of SM-70 Pros). I have not used their interconnects, but I think it is made of the same wire used inside their amps and preamps. C.C. Poon knows what he is talking about, I would trust him ....
Monarchy SM-70 to Model 33 interconnect question
Hi,
I have a pair of Monarchy Audio SM-70's running in mono-block mode and I have a Monarchy Model 33 DAC/Preamp. I'm currently using RCA-SE connection between the amp and preamp, but many reviews I've read state that it sounds better running with the XLR/balanced connection.
Question, has anyone ever used the Monarchy DAB-1 balanced cable for interconnects? Also, Monarchy stated that a single DAB-1 also works as a balanced digital cable. At 50 ohms, is this really a good choice?
CC Poon at Monarchy says these cables work well as both digital and as interconnects. Is this really a good use of my cash, or should I move on to another vendor?
BTW, I think the Monarchy products sound great, especially for the price I paid for used items.
Thanks for the assistance.
