In Reply to: RE: Weird question ... you have a very good IC and an average one posted by PAR on June 30, 2014 at 15:14:48
Hi i am +1h before you
But seriously ... if i had a preamp at least that i like very much i would try to put some very nice RCAs because the average quality is evidently very very poor ... and i think i can listen it
XLR instead from Neutrik are perfect and quite cheap.
Also dirt i have listened ... after cleaning much better sound.
Very much actually.
I have found chemical detergent spectacular for this purpose, even if slightly toxic ...
Kind regards,

If you are liking what you are hearing then that's great. All I wanted to say is that although XLRs provide a robust connection this does not guarantee the best sound compared to RCA connectors between the same pieces of ovequipment. You should always try both before finally deciding.
There are good reasons for this ranging from the degree of success in the implementation of the balanced circuitry ( assuming that the XLRs are used in such a configuration) to the generation of eddy currents in the metal parts of the XLR plug and housing compared to some RCAs such as WBT new generation.
Just be careful with that toxic cleaner :-)
Hi and thanks again for your kind and valuable advice.
XLR connections are very popular on top of the line equipment, especially solid state.
I am so ignorant that i did not even know that the body is grounded, thing that i do not like of course.
I see three pins and maybe a body of hard plastic could prevent this eddy currents ?
But there is no reason to argue.
They have decided for a lesser design to differentiate and make necessary to spend big money on better connectors.
If a 0.5$ well designed connector would do all the job perfectly together with a let's say 10 $ cable ... well you understand that the game stops immediately.
And they do not want this.
And RCAs are perfectly suitable for this.
Thanks a lot again.
Kind regards,
