.... because a component has XLR connections is no guarantee of balanced operation.

I had Wel Signature XLR's in my system (All Ayre), and have never been so disappointed...only Cardas cables were worse. This underscores that in MY experience you have to audition cables in YOUR system to hear if they touch your soul. Every cable in every system is differnent.
