    FS: Fender Balanced XLR Cable Interconnect 10FT Model A2Q321

    Never used Fender XLR interconnect 10FT. I have sold my Genelec setup and no longer need XLR cables. Was planning to use it with a sub. As you know Balanced cables are perfect for subwoofer connections as they are noise-immune. $10 + actual shipping. They sell for $35 plus shipping.

    DAC / Preamp after failure of Topping D90SE at 82 days

    Advice please on which SMSL DAC / Preamp to choose. The SU10, or the D400EX, or the D400ES, or other of similar capability. Great XLR output quality (power & SINAD) highest priority. LDAC is desireable but not essential. Two Topping failures in less than 8 months makes me nervous, so a company...

    Douk Audio U5 Balanced XLR headphone amp

    This fell into the "Cheap enough, worth a pop" category so decided to get one to play around with. It arrived this morning, no power supply just a USB A to Barrel jack cable and the unit itself, thing is tiny. Got it hooked up to a Topping E50 via XLR and powered at the min with a cheap generic...

    Worth upgrading from Fiio K5 Pro (RCA) to a balanced DAC for more than 1 reason.

    Current combo : Kali Audio LP6 + FiiO K5 Pro connected with RCA. I am happy with the combo, was wondering if upgrading to a balanced DAC/xlr will be worth it? Reasons: Want to try XLR cables (hoping for better audio) + K5 Pro has a weird problem: It does not mute the monitors if I connect...

    Which balanced cable do I need to connect a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 to a pair of KRK Rokit RP5 G4?

    The interface has two 1/4 inch output lines, one for each speaker and the KRKs have one XLR female and 1/4 inch combined input each one. Would this be good? It's a XLR Male to 1/4 inch TRS balanced cable...

    Connecting coaxial source with XLR mic input of Scarlett 4i4

    Hi! The aim is to connect coaxial source to 4i4 mic input. So I'm going to solder an adapter. Would it be correct to connect this way coaxial ground -> XLR ground and one of balanced line (say, negative) coaxial signal -> another XLR balanced line (say, positive) ? I have not seen 4i4 mic...

    Which one is better? RCA vs XLR

    Is XLR significantly better than RCA? If that's the case then why don't big manufacturers use them on their products? Kef r3, ls50 meta, elac dbr 62 etc. don't have XLR.

    Capacitor between XLR shell and ground pin

    The topic isn't new, but still seems to be contested. Here and here it is advised to add 100pF capacitor in a way that both pin #1 and shell are connected. Is this what's normally recommended or connection between the cable and pin should be severed? Also, what is the optimal capacitor...

    Clippy EM272 Wiring to XLR

    I have bought a pair of EM272 with a 3.5 stereo plug. It works great with my Zoom h4n, but i now upgrade to Zoom F3, and this one need XLRs. So my plan is to redo the wiring and connect each of the two EM272 to an XLR plug, like this product, but i have no idea where each cable should go on the...

    My headphone's XLR pin or connecter is melting/melted what the fuck

    Was just unplugging my AKG K371 and noticed that the XLR connecter's outer tube was a little sticky for some reason. As I took a closer look I was shocked to find that there were some golden liquid stains surrounding the outer XLR connecter tube (it looks something like melted gold in liquid...

    Mogami 2549 vs 2534

    Hi all, I'm going to knock together some interconnects and just wanted to double check as to the reasons one would choose one of these cables over the other. I'm almost positive the real world differences especially in such a short length of cable will be practically nothing and I imagine even...

    Splitting DAC XLR Out for Multiple Amps

    I would like to use the XLR output of my DAC (Gustard X16 short-term, maybe a Holo May in the future) to feed both my stereo (integrated) amp and headphone amp (one at any given time). Both amps have 50k+ input impedance. From similar posts, I gather that this is fairly harmless and has no...

    Hey guys, I've recently acquired a pair of iLoud MTM's. I do not record music but just want to use them as desktop media speakers.

    Correct way to connect an nCore XLR amp to an RCA source

    Hello, I am wondering if there is a safe way to do this, since most solutions I have found on the internet are about the connection of the xlr terminals to the internals of the amp, or something. I want to connect the nc400 to an old unbalanced tube pre amp. Will something like this be ok...
