How much difference between balanced XLR and RCA


Balanced(XLR) vs RCA interconnects.

Does it make much of difference in sound quality?

I'm getting power amp with balanced in, and thinking about between Meridian 561 and Anthem avm20 pre/pro.

Meridain 561 looks like a great deal these days, but it lacks the balanced out...

Sort of feeling quilty of getting a pre/pro without balanced out while my amp will have the balanced in...

Check with your manufacturer, some that I know of say that their component is designed to run either balanced or singled ended better than the other, but offer both ways for connection. Musical Fidelity for one beileves that their components sound best with singled ended, and thus, don't offer balanced outputs, or inputs.
