Muralman, If your eAR2 and your pre are fully balanced, wouldn't you benefit by having a CD player that is balanced as well? I have read that if equipment is balanced, it would sound better using it that way. Sonny
XLR to RCA adapters
With a fully balanced CD player and pre-amp, and a power amp that is RCA only, should I use an XLR to RCA adapter to the amp? Would there be audible losses, perhaps in noise floor, compared to using an amp with balanced inputs?
In this case it would be the Acoustic Reality Enigma, which is RCA only, or the PS Audio HCA-2, which has the XLRs.
Another related question, for people using the Panasonic XR45 with the Behringer crossover. The Behringer is fully balanced and the XR45 is not. I assume that XLR to RCA adapters are being used?
Thanks, Sonny
