Thanks Mgottlieb. The NBS Monitor O is one of the best cables on the planet. It would be unfair to compare Monitor 0 XLR to anything else RCA. What RCA did you use for your A/B comparison?
I am fascinated by the number of phonopreamps with XLR IN and/or OUT (Pass, Rowland, Blue Amp, etc.). I thought heavy XLR plugs would interfere with a delicate low-level MC signal. Why XLR? A dealer and I discussed this for awhile and he kept on repeating that the phono signal is "the only TRUE BALANCED SIGNAL in the entire stereo system" but looking back he has always tried to get me to run me equipment XLR whether it is the Stax driver unit or the amps.
