@almarg,Thank You for providing the correct information.I too experienced huge improvements going from RCA to XLR wile connecting my preamp to amp. I tried it one more time last week and I am certainly staying XLR.

What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000
There are 2 ProAc D48 on audiogon for much less than $10k. Amazing speakers, to say the least, from experience! 
Marantz SA-10 arriving Monday!
@elizabeth ,Please suggest a couple of Classical chamber music, quartets, sonatas, that are the Jazz equivalent of Time Out. Something that people who like Rock/Jazz/Vocals can instantly get hooked on to.

The new magnificent Linear Tube Audio MicroZOTL Preamplifier

A pair of Legacy Signatures at $7k can easily compare to a Proac D48R which is a $12k set of loudspeakers with even deeper lower bass and greater efficiency. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion :-)
