You never know what today will bring

I introduced new XLR Discovery Essence Interconnect in between my CDP and Pre today, in place of an older pair of very short audioquests with RCA termination. My speakers now deliver the same number of dBs as before with the preamp set two clicks LOWER. I did not expect such a substantial change in SNR. My thought is that this is due to balanced circuitry, not to differences in cable.

Oddly enough, even Discovery Essence RCA interconnects seem to have a lower SNR (than other RCA interconnects) because I also tend to turn DOWN the volume knob a couple of notches when I use Essence RCA IC's between my CDP and pre-amp.

This is compared to other IC's such as Shunyata, Aries; Coincident, CTS; and HT, Truth Link. Go figure.
