Balanced to RCA adaptors
Thanks for all the responsed guys, my Joule Electra Marianne will be arriving next week and I will try the adaptor and see how it all comes together!! 
Balanced to RCA adaptors
I think we all agree that if the adaptors can be avoided, then do so........that is the direction I am going to go. As Jeffb said, I would alway be suspicious that the system is in some way not up to snuff. I will move to RCA and use the adaptors ... 
Balanced to RCA adaptors
Hey, thanks very much Tvad!! I appreciate you sharing your obviously considerable exerience and knowledge!! 
Balanced to RCA adaptors
Thanks for the response. The amp is Levinson 33H and I don't know if I have the right terminology, but I believe it is as you said differentially balanced...... truly balanced. Apparently Levinson did something on the 33H internal to make the RCA ... 
Best speaker cable for Genesis speakers
Hey Mark, good to hear from you! My bass towers are using some kind of Genesis proprietary design....very expensive and recommended by the manufacturer, so don't want to touch that one at this time anyways! Though about Tara lots, but, are they li... 
Best Amp for Genesis 4 tower spkrs; mid/tweeter
Just to update, I have moved to the Levinson 33H mono amps, and feel that I will not be looking to replace them in the future......loving them!! 
Best digital interconnect
Thanks for all the great feedback suggestions folks. I currently have on order, and am expecting their arrival in the next week or two........the Virtual Dynamics Genesis and Stealth Sextet. I will compare the two and keep the best one for my syst... 
Shunyata Orion vs Virtual Dynamics Genesis
I have upgraded my IC's to GG Raptures, and am very happy. Still looking for a significant speaker cable upgrade! I will keep looking here for your response Frankpiet, with respect to how you like the Revelation 2.0

Thanks for all the opinions, and relating your different experiences folks! Anyone tried out the Kharma Enigma? Teajay......I'll check out your review right now!! 
Shunyata Orion vs Virtual Dynamics Genesis
I upgraded to Gabriel Gold interconnects, but am still interested in what a speaker cable upgrade would be for me. There doesn't seem to be many people with Shunyata Orion speaker cable, that can comment on comparisons. 
Burmester and MBL
Thanks to the last two entries.....obviously system compatability is key to these two excellent preamps. 
Burmester and MBL
Can't say anything about the MBL 6010, but I just auditioned the MBL 5011, and compared it to the Nagra PLL. I bought the Nagra!! IMHO the Nagra was soooo much better. Much more information (detail) sound stage was bigger, imaging, and mid range w... 
Best preamp for my system.
I love the Gabriel Raptures. I don't have much to compare them to........some MIT and also some Virtual Dynamics stuff,Heavens gate, Madrigal, Cardas........The GG is so so nice! I would like to try some other stuff, but when I look at the system ... 
Best preamp for my system.
UPDATE: Well I did some auditioning and ended up buying a Nagra PLL preamp. It blew me away. It is better than my Levinson 380S in every way. I could not audition everything I was interested in, due to local availability, however over the years I ... 
Burmester and MBL
Thank very much Cappuccino, have you ever heard the Burmester 011? Was it the 6010 reference MBL that you auditioned or the 5011?
