Balanced xlr interconnects for ARC Ref 6se

Might a xlr between amp and preamp solve group loop problem? Ground loop is resolved a lot when I pass cable tv coaxial cable thru a surge protector, but would prefer not doing this.


problem probably exists because I use two outlets in my room for all the components.  Hard to use one wall outlet for everything.

Stereophile measurements show noise and distortion are lower through the balanced outputs. Used the balanced outputs if you can.

Its supposed to, but ARC does not support the balanced line standard which is there to prevent ground loop noise amoungst other things. Its worth a try though!

I’m a balanced guy too. 

I like the Audioquest interconnects as well as Cardas with them.  Early all the dealers I know with AR show with the AQ cables. Good luck
