RCA vs XLR


I was told by a dealer that RCA connections will tend to sound more 3 dimensional that XLR. Currently I am running everything balanced. Does anyone have an opinion and have you experimented with both formats?

Elgordo is right. Find a new dealer. What a joke...............................
"RCA connections will tend to sound more 3 dimensional that XLR".
I will put this on the top 10 list of the dumbest things we've ever heard a dealer say.
If people wonder why so many (hifi) consumers are so confused there is a prime example (dumb dishonest & usually disorganized dealers).
Yes, Avguygeorge, we find that TRUE balance usually (not always) sounds best, but many components aren't balanced, they just have XLR's (FYI for Jeffmazen).
