Pass XP-10 and Jeff Rowland Capri pre

When comparing any Rowland Product with something different, you have to just follow Rowland's XLR I/O convention: pin 3 noninverting, pin 2 inverting, which is the opposite of the AES standard.
This is important.
When you connect regular cables because you haven't read the manual, the sound is far away from optimal.
Btw. I use Coherence II with Lamm 1.2Reference, matching connections.

Syntax, of course I checked about that issue. I thought that may be an issue I had, so I double checked the polarity of inputs. The newer equipment adheres to standard XLR convention, with pin 2 positive. From the JRDG site-- In the manual: NOTE: Pin 2 of each XLR connector is signal positive
with respect to each RCA input. Also, JRDG recommends
balanced cables as the preferred method of
interconnection.

Hi Kzhtoo, 1281372519 is the thread number, it is about X1 Vs Capri but there are comments about XP10 too. I think if you copy/paste into the forum search it will come up

Thanks. Seems like going Pass amp+ pre is a popular choice. Extra cost might be worth it.
