What are XLR inputs??


are they better or worse than RCA's. So do you have to buy an adapter? Do you lose sound quality?

Willy, did you send me an e-mail about my BAT VK-200? It has only balanced inputs, which means you will need a preamp with balanced outputs or an adapter that goes from RCA (single-ended) to XLR (balanced) to put between your preamp and BAT. A system which combines balanced and single-ended (XLR and RCA) will not sound as good as one that is all balanced. It will not necessarily sound worse than one that is all single-ended, but it might. The true advantage of using balanced connections is the cancellation of noise induced in a long run of interconnect.
