XLR adaptor advice
I’m considering an offer on a set of Stealth Sakra interconnects at a very attractive price. Unfortunately they are single ended and my preamp (D’Agostino Momentum) only accepts XLR. I’m thinking about using Neutrik RCA to XLR adaptors for connection to the preamp.
i have a couple places I could put these cables in my system:
From a dCS DeBussy DAC to the preamp XLR in
From the preamp XLR out to a pair of Krell Evo 600 mono amps
Whichever position from above is left open would be filled by Stealth Indra V7, XLR.
Any advice/comment on using XLR/RCA adaptors?
I read most of the other threads already here on the subject and learned a great deal, but thought I’d narrow the question down to a specific cable/use...
thanks,
Mitch

Once you install an unbalanced interconnect, the pathway is no longer balanced. An RCA to XLR adapter will not be converted to a balanced signal. A IsoMax transformer will accept RCA input and convert it to balanced. The outputs are XLR. https://www.cs1.net/products/jensen_transformers/PO-2RX.htm |
