TCiborow, the posts above are dead on. One thing strikes me though: Do you speak of running balanced or just using XLR connectors on your cables, which are used in a single ended fashon. If that would be the case, you would of course not have the benefit of reduced noise, if that (vide Albert's post) should be a problem at all. However, I find the Neutrix XLR's generally much better than the RCA plugs. Though difficult to clean, they give a fetter fit and cannot be unplugged incidentally. Some people maintain, that they also sound better with sweeter highs and less harshness. I'v never heard that myself, but then I did not specifically try. Curious about other opinions.....Regards,
