I have a Sonic Frontiers Line 3 and Marantz MA9-S2 amplifiers. The amps sit between my speakers and the preamp is on a rack on the right side of my listening room, requiring about a 4 meter connection. Both components can use RCA or XLR connections. I tested both connections using runs of similar Mogami cable. The balanced XLR connection sounds better.

The advantage, for me, of having this arrangement is that the rack is not in between the speakers (where it used to be). The provides a huge improvement in the apparent sound stage, making it much larger and more realistic.

Happy listening.
