@willywonka The reason I asked is amps and preamps for pro audio/recording studio use have had XLR inputs going back to the 1950s. So the distinction is really the ask of this thread.
Can anyone tell me when XLR connections were first used on stereo equipment. (what years)?
I know RCA connections can produce incredible sounding music, too, but in my experience, I've always found XLR connections sound more detailed to my ears. I'm interested in a vintage integrated amp. Perhaps that's an oxymoron. Anyway, please let me know units/brands that you know about.

@atmasphere thanks for adding the extra info. I have a lot of studio gear. Some uses pin 3 as hot, some pin 2 as hot and some have user selectable hot pin out such as the MTR-15. |
