| RCA or XLR Between Digital Separates? 12-17-11: IrvrobinsonAs long as the cable has proper impedance and reasonable capacitance the XLR design wins hands down. You can buy the best solid silver RCA cable half an inch thick and compare it to any cheap-o balanced cable you can buy in a ... | |
| RCA or XLR Between Digital Separates? Like 99.9999% of the questions, it all depends on the component and cable. Last month I demoed an expensive highly regarded DAC at home for a week and found AEB/ESU was much superior to RCA eventhough the RCA digital cable is 3X more expensive. Th... | |
| Any other Sony SS-AR1 owners out there? 12-12-11: AudiozenI was considering buying the SS-AR1's, and feel sorry for those who took the plunge, and will be buying the Aerial Acoustics 7T's as soon as my sound room remodeling is complete. I heard the AR1's while I was in southern Calif. a... | |

| Why Not More Conversation about VAC? What about v1 and v4? | |
