...because I am using a TVC and in future I am planning of getting a source with XLR connections. AFAIK, TVCs are not affected by the impedance as much as an active line stage is. Either this is a wrong statement or I must have misunderstood an online article's intention - don't know.
In any case I always assumed that XLR has twice the "output" volts as compared to RCA because of the + and - legs. So instead of getting 2V, if I get 4V at volume position 12 on my TVC, the sound would be noticeably better. I have already experience this happen when I replaced the RCA between my TVC and amp. There was this immediate "heft" to the sound that makes the RCA sounds lifeless. My TVC is balanced and I feel that my system will realize it's full potential if I use a Balanced source.
Any corrections or additional inputs will be appreciated!
