Another thought (rhetorical question)...given the benefits of XLR in pro audio over long distances, why would high-end home audio designers bother implementing XLR if there was no sonic benefit over relatively short distances?
Balanced XLR vs RCA for phono stage
My new BAT VK 3500 has balanced inputs, and my Goldnote PS-10 has 1 balanced output, rated at +12dB.
I have no clue what the pros and cons are for balanced XLR vs. single ended RCA, other than XLR is preferred for long runs.
I’m currently using a 1.5m Zavfino Fusion RCA cable. Is there any benefit in getting the exact same cable terminated with XLR?
Thanks!

@ditusa thanks - missed the first article, will read both this afternoon. |
@ditusa the article from Ralph was interesting and answers the question I asked about the benefits of XLR in home audio. Comments about cable auditioning were also interesting. Comparing the same cable RCA vs XLR may also be interesting. |
