RE: About differences between cables - RCAs vs. XLRs.

"Unfortunately, XLR electronics remove 2nd order harmonics as part of the XLR noise filtering/cancelling process, which our ears like, but leaves the 3rd order harmonics in place including the noise, which our ears do not like"


Balanced (or differential circuits) cancel the even ordered harmonic distortion that they create, not harmonics that were part of the input signal.
