Naughty Naughty Rbes...tsk tsk.

Do we need to put you in the "time out" corner?

Rbes - Your Ill Mitch arent you! Im a big fan. Punch while rap was great.

I'd probably skip the adapters and just get a cable with RCA/XLR terminations.

I use RCA-to-XLR cables between my Yamaha C80 preamp and Levinson #23 amp and they work fine.

Just have to save up now for that ML26 pre...

Whoaru99 - Great Idea. A buddy of mine just suggested it also. I will try it. After I get the cable I will report back any difference in sound quality. So far the single ended connection is sounding pretty darned good.

Thanks

Just wanted to give an update for whoever is interested. I bought the Cardas RCA to XLR adapters and am now using the XLR inputs on the Parasound JC-1s. The results are quite good. A dramatic improvement IMO. The main improvements I hear are blacker background, more detail, better image focus and improved dynamics. Hope this helps other JC-1 owners that don't have a balanced pre.
