Don't put single ended and balanced cables in the same system, unless they are not differentially balanced. All the benefits are lost if done like that.
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.
