Single Ended vs Balanced Output Gain

I gotta do this.. I just gotta.. I always knew it was the best way and can remember a guy doing this 25 years ago in El Grove CA. He made tonearms and carts for radio stations. The same kind of set up was used for R2R too. It's actually better than direct head playback, though I suppose you could add the XLR to the tape head covers too, just like RCA DHP is.. Kinda last on the list these days, Vinyl first then maybe magnetic media again.

In Retirement, TIME flies fellas.. WOW.. I gotta keep up.. LOL

I know for sure XLR system get good sound, and get big sound , (I mean the sound get spacious) and get high,mid,bass in balanced. But in reality, it won’t win in all situations.

In my case, I listen vocal Jazz 99%, I want a low voice most of the time as I do not want to disturb kids learning.

I want the singer voice outstanding among all sound.

So in this case, definitely go RCA connection.

The most important thing I forgot to mention is that my RCA pre get perfect sound in my point of view,if I changed the pre, the sound is different. I also try RCA to xlr cable, the sound is also different.I will stay with this pre,that's the reason, and this pre does not have xlr port.

Never mind that the recording was made using balanced connections!
