Guys, thanks for the informative and enlightening posts. I have switched to RCA but it has helped only marginally. I will look at those links and pursue. Thanks again. Mark
RCA or XLR
I have an Aragon 8008BB power amp and an Aragon Aurum pre amp. Both have XLR and RCA inputs. Does anyone know if they are truly balanced in their circuitry? Fellow Aragon owners, which type cable do you run? The Aurum has such high gain my CD player blasts at 8 o'clock on the volume dial. Thanks for any responses.
