It seems the experiment would be more instructive if using the same cable for balanced and non-balanced. Using the same cable length in each case, of course. If one’s equipment is capable of running balanced, there doesn’t seem to be any reason not to.
Real experience - Balanced or Unbalanced between Luxman Pre & Power Amps
Hi Folks,
After having spent quite a bit of time testing both balanced and unbalanced cables between a luxman c10x preamp and m10x power amp. I'm not noticing any difference.
My balanced cable is from blue jeans and interconnect is a QED ref 40.
Does anyone have any experience with these components, if so what has your experience been and what are you using between them?
