Balanced interconnects advice

I went with the Audio Art IC-3 very nice for the price, def a upgrade over the RCA. thanks all

I just went to XLR for first time last week. Searching around for info I found a tech site that stated all XLR cables properly made are the same, sound the same, etc.

Found this nice basic explanation of the differences also:

XLR connections will only make a difference if your electronics are specifically designed for them. Most companies put XLR connections on as an means for the piece to have an ultra high end aura. In order for the piece to really be balanced, it needs a totally separate circuit for the + and - halves of the waveform. This makes the piece much more expensive than one that is only single ended...even with XLR plugs.
