Awesome info guys thanks.
I will ideally like to drive direct form Bricasti and I understand that buying Balanced interconnects is the best way and I will prob at some point but they are pretty expensive. Also, the Bricasti and my preamp are balanced but I have $2500 for 2 interconnects and the balanced version is about $3k. I know I can and prob still sell my singles and by balanced but its a factor.
I have bought and sold thousands and thousands of dollars worth of doe on different speaker cables, interconnects and power cables and could never just buy blue jean interconnects till I could afford more.
I have found in my experience that interconnects have a huge - huge impact on the sound quality. Huge. I know tons of people don't believe in cables and don't want to go there but I am not one of them. I worked really hard at getting my cable to where I have them and prefer not have to get back on that merry go round if can be avoided. Prob enough in itself to not go with the Claytons.
My Darwin Truth IC's out performed Nordost Valhalla's and Cardas Gold Reference and Cardas Clear and there were tons of lesser ones in there both these where the ones I liked the best before they were beaten out straight up by the outstanding Darwin's.
So do you guys don't think there is a shot of rolling with just XLR adapters using the Bricasti direct to the Claytons. Looks like a good amount of work is going to be needed to use these amps in my system does't that seem correct? As always thanks guys.
Was hoping might be able to keep everything the same and plug away with the XLR to RCA Cardas Clear adapters that are good quality that I used with a BAT VK600SE a year or so ago that worked nice. Thx
