I'm using a Zesto Leto preamp with a mix of RCA and XLR sources . They all sound great , I'm driving a pair of Quicksilver Mid Monos and my sub controller via its RCA outputs . The difference in volume is often perceived as sounding better but I think anyone would be hard pressed to tell the difference . The best thing about this pre is that any type of input will be output simultaneously from the dual RCA and XLR stereo outputs.... it can drive 4 amps, or a mix of amps and subs. Its killer.
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.
