Thanks for everyone's responses. I don't know if theses facts make any difference but let me put them out there. My preamp is the Jaton RC 2000P Operetta . Amp is Audio-GD SA-300 SE. Speakers are Monitor audio silver RS 6
I was able to speak to both King Wa of Audio GD and George of Jaton.
George says of the RC 2000P that from their test the XLR measures a 6db lower noise floor. When I asked King Wa he just said I could expect a 15% improvement in sound. Lower noise floor here as well? He did not elaborate. It is with these things in mind that Make me want to try the XLR connection. Having said that it would seem that the only way to see any Apple to apple comparison is to get a the GA-0 in XLR As currently I halve the RCA version.
