The OP is just gaslighting here. Nobody is that ignorant. He's just pretending that physics and the science of sound don't exist. Whole thread should be closed for intentionally lying and starting arguments.
Cables & streamers
Cables matter. I just reconfigured my system to allow for xlr connection instead of rca. Also inserted ps audio integrated to replace battery power 60 watt 5 amp amp,Music was great / engaging before, definitely more depth and tighter/ deeper/ clearer with xlr. Still has body, not fatigued. Just more controlled energy and 3d dimensionality. It’s not all the amp, it does help but its not the whole story. The red wine amp isnt going anywhere, its pretty great within limits. There r aspects with Maggy .6 that I prefer it for. The xlr cable is Heimdal. Modwright oppo dac that the manual states xlr sounds better. Just didn’t have the opportunity to test it out.

That depends on the design of the balanced amplifier. Many differentially balanced amps do have 6 dB greater gain when run balanced.
Or, you could look at it as 6 dB better s/n at a given output. Whether that is a "feature" or not is a matter of some debate. It doesn't meet the AES48 standard, for example. |
@cdtd you should give Tyr 2 interconnects a try at some point. Amazing cables. I also like Kimber Carbon and KS1116. I actually prefer KS1116 in my system over Tyr 2 but both are phenomenal. |
