Bel Canto Ref1000 MK2 Or Ref 500m ?

Pettyfeversk, I'm reading with interest your comments too.
I have also noticed the increase in DB, that for sure is due to the different voltage output. But on my system, the difference in transparency and bass control was immediate. During the test I have exchanged both CD to pre e pre to power amp at the same time. Both was the Tunami Oyaide Terzo XX that I have exchanged with a pair of Terzo RR (unbalanced version)
Do you made the test with the same cable brand/type?

Granosalis

Yes, it was the samme cable going from unbalanced to balanced.

Granosalis,

Maybe your change was really a better fit with a better cable in your system vs balanced or unbalanced?

Sorry but english isn't my mother language and I do not get the question.
Could you please rephrase?

I think your change in sound may be due to the fact that you changed the cables you were using, not that you went from unbalanced to balanced. Unless you used the same exact cables in balanced and unbalanced versions.
