Hello @alan60  Yes, I use the xmfr; it's the default setting in my setup. My interconnects (IC) are XLRs. The transformer allows the signal to maintain true full balance and maximize my interconnects' performance. Additionally, I use Miyajima La... 
Lumin u1 or Aurender N10

Which makes the biggest difference?
No one mention the source server, i think impact of the server on the chain is very listenable.also my experience with or without pre-amplifier goes toward with(good) pre-amplifier. 
Analog Upgrade - Where to start?
I would consider upgrading the phono stage to something on the same level as the rest of the system (Dagostino, Boulder, Brinkmann, Zesto), if budget allows i would also change the cartridge. 
Owner Review - Cardas Clear and Cardas Clear Light Speaker Cables
