3 years ago I purchased a Simaudio 700i amp which is a true dual mono balalanced circuit. I was using Discovery Essence RCA interconnects from a Simaudio CD Player. I thought it sounded great and was dead silent. Talking with Joe DePhillips the cable designer he offered to convert or swap my RCA cables for XLR connections.
The difference convinced me of the benefits even on an already silent system. The most obvious change was a far greater sense of dynamics, more gain, detail and clarity.
Other positive aspects became obvious on extended listening.
Nothing was lost except for the shipping charges and the cost of the XLR connectors.
I chose to return my shorter pair for upgrade rather than take the longer pair Joe offered.
Same cables, much better sound !
It was a no-brainer in my system.
