The 3i also has 2 or 3 sets of RCA input jacks and one set of RCA outputs, unless it is an upgraded Model 3, as far as I know. The two that I have owned all had both SE and balanced inputs and outputs.
BAT pre-amps with RCA adaptors
I recently demoed the BAT vk-3i and was very impressed. While the BAT is a balanced design, the rest of my system is completely single ended. BAT's literature suggests that I can use their xlr to rca adaptors until I can upgrade my source components and power amp to balanced designs.
I understand that I will not be getting the most out of the BAT preamp using it single ended, but I'm curious as to how much loss of sound quality I will suffer, and if it's enough to make me wait on the upgrade. I'd especially like to hear from any BAT pre-amp users who are using single-ended connections to their power amps and sources.
Thanks.
