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

Hi and yes i have a very old primare pre30 that sadly has some issues with the volume pot.
I am looking for a service shop here around and it is out of the system now. Do you know the unit maybe ?
I have also a even older Electrocompaniet 4.5 but it is a little soft and too rounded ... not very precise.
I prefer a precise equipment and then make up the sound with the cables. I know that is weird.

But my main nightmare is the dac. I have problem getting a good digital sound.
But this week will be interesting. I am waiting for a pair of Cardas Hexlink xlr to use at the dac out into a SAC headphone amp (an amp designed for the akg k1000).
I am using the headphones to test the sound out from the dac.
If i will be able to get a convincing sound in the headphones that will mean that the source is ok.
I believe that my heaphone set-up is much more revealing than my stereo system and also i have problems with the present neighbours (cannot raise the volume).
I really have hopes in the new cables. They should arrive soon.
Thanks again.
Kind regards,
bg
