    Balanced or RCA???

    Hello all, this is kind of a follow-up to my last post ( I should've included this second question in the original post). I know that the Rotel RMB-1095 takes Balanced interconnects, however, the RSP-1066 only has the RCA for outbound. Are you all just using RCA on both ends, or RCA to Balanced? I am little confused here, advice please..

    In order to get any benefit from ballenced cables you need ballenced connectors on both ends so if you're using the 1066 you might as well just use high quality RCA.s

      What Andrew said is pretty much true. You cannot have balanaced connection unless it's at both ends. You cannot have true balanaced unless it's balanced at both ends. All you can have is XLR connector to RCA or vice versa.

      I just built some RCA to XLRs for a customer, but I doubt he'll realize any real performance gains.

        Using both balanced and RCA outputs on SSP
        by Nolan B
        This set up may seem a little strange, but I think I can get it to work for me. Downstairs I have have my SSP 600 connected to my 5100 using the balance outputs. I decided to buy a pair of B&O beolab 8000 speakers for a listening room upstairs. Since these speakers are active all I did was connect...

        A21 Balanced Vs RCA
        by milpai
        I have been using the A21 power amp with my romitheus Reference C-Core TVC. Though the TVC has a Balanced IN/OUT, I have been using the RCA to A21. I do not have a Balanced source to TVC.
        My question is, with this setup, will it make sense to connect the TVC to A21 with Balanced cable? Some of...

        Rca Or Balanced
        by comeup
        I have a Monster power amp hooked up with a B&K ref 50 using balanced connections. The sound is good ,but sounded better with RCA Audioquest Cobra cables. I thought for sure that the balanced cables would be better, they are made by Bluejean cables. I don't know if I want to try another company...

        Connecting balanced pre-amp to unbalanced amp
        by toledoguy
        I've got a question, and I think I know the answer, but what the heck. I have decided to spend some money to move from big box store mediocre equipment to higher end seperates. It's a slow process as I research everything that I possibly can before I buy. I have a Rotel RM-1050 to power the front...
