Ever Onward...
The only speaker connection I don't have are "Balanced" inputs, that is an entirely new level and I've never owned anything that had those. I have thought about it but am happy playing in the upper midrange of audio gear, the really expensive stuff is like a Ferrari, you pay so much for modest improvements I just could never justify that kind of investment, if money was no object that would be a different story.
George, it is nice that you can change around certain interconnects and get the sound of the ML's to "mellow" out, I don't go too far into that area but do have a few really good interconnects. For the average person with entry level equipment they might not really notice much of a difference, but when you start going up into the more expensive gear like Parasound/ML's then you will definitely hear the difference.
What pre-amp are you using?
I have the Onkyo PR-SC886...
Bruce, XLRs have better noise rejection capabilities IF you are doing long runs to your amp. Otherwise, I read that there is no difference quality wise BUT I do notice that it is louder than RCA unbalanced connections by at least 2 dbs for better or for worse.
I will be going from 14 with the Home Depot's to 10 gauge with the Beldens. It's funny how the old Monster Navajo Whites were outclassed by the less known Home Depot's when I changed them up. Much cheaper too...
