Almarg. Thank you again for the information about the Jensen Transformer
I have 3 ways to go; 1) BAT no lower has adapters, and suggested Cardas adapters. Victor K. at BAT did say I was better off with "what I have now" that is, the Signal Cable that is RCA (out) to XLR input. Therefore, I think he endorses the concept of a mixed connector IC, then using adapters
2) JW Audio Cable emailed me back regarding its ad on AG which show a Reference series IC for $329, or the Signature series IC for $149. Both are 1M and can be configured the same as the Signal Cable I currently use.
3) Jensen Transformer with their cables which are Canares Star Quad. The question comes down to which solution will deliver the best sound and provide the most compatible connection. The adapters are only a last consideration and are not inexpensive. Parts Connexsion sells the Cardas adapters for about 82.00 a set and I will need two sets. (I think) plus $6.00 shipping
Obviously, the Jenson transformer with appropriate cables will cost $300-$350 So it is a toss -up between the JW Audio Reference cable , or the Jensen device Let me know if you have any other thoughts on the 2 solutions, should you have the time. I am not in a hurry and it is not crucial. . SJ
