Hi Cerrot, Congrats on the Tara Labs cable, The one w/grounding station, question, are you saying that you got a interconnect with xlr on one end and rca on the other, and this sounded better than useing the cardas adapter that is xlr to rca?, do you think the improved sound is really having an interconnect with ground station, instead of any major sound differences between the interconnect with cardas adapter on one end versus the interconnect with xlr/rca made onto the cable?, have you done a direct comparison with the cardas adapter, and not useing the cardas adapter, everything equal?
