In my very limited experience, I have found XLR to be quieter cables than RCA cables, tending also produce a truer sound, without significant coloration. With a truly balanced system, supposedly you're not supposed to hear a difference between XLR cables, there are probably few systems that are truly balanced. While my entire system is not truly balanced, I found that the Mogami Gold shielded cables were as neutral as any. Some XLR cables that I listened to (which were quite expensive) were just bad souding.
