Yes, I'm running a SE pre-amp (Manley Neo Classic 300b) with a fully balanced XLR amp (EC AW250R) and it sounds amazing. I had AudioArt cables build me a pair of XLR/RCA interconnects. Also, prior to purchasing I sent emails to both Manley and EC to ask if I should expect any issues. Got the green light from both...made the investment...and couldn't be happier with the outcome. Glad to share more info if interested...
Anybody use a single ended component with one that is balanced?
I currently have a single ended pass xa25 amp which is excellent but am looking to upgrade to an arc balanced pre. I was told arc works best balanced but I will have to use the rcas.
Anybody been in a situation like this? Will I really be compromising the sound of the arc using it in single ended mode? I know there are people who prefer single ended.
