    Luxman MB3045 with XLR input?

    My Luxman MB-3045 monoblock amplifiers are 16 feet (4 meters) from the preamp in order to have short speaker cable runs. Single-ended RCA's are really not up to the task at that length, without spending an exorbitant amount of money. My BAT preamp has XLR outputs as well as RCA Has anyone...

    I thought I would post a short review of this item might be of interest here for those wanting to add a Bluetooth DAC (with all the codecs including LDAC and AAC) into their stack via various output options (including XLR and digital outputs). The USB input also works well but it does not...

    Mic for Sony DSR-PD150 camcorder?

    I've acquired a Sony DSR-PD150 camcorder without a microphone, and I'm wondering what my options might be for a suitable affordable new or used microphone.

    connecting equipment with XLR: mixing balanced and single ended

    Long title sorry about that. I have a Modwright preamp (LS100) that has XLR inputs that are specifically noted as being "wired single ended". I am about to get a Lumin D2 DAC/streamer that has XLR outputs noted as being "balanced". I did a little reading to understand the difference in how...

    Multi room audio system, XLR balanced cables

    Anybody run XLR balanced cables for a single source multi-room 2 channel audio system? I’m looking for advice on a music distribution systems. If there are big advantages for using wireless, some sort of optical links, or other methods, I will consider those options. I guess I’m hard core ol’...

    Help: Accuphase XLR pin 3 hot into XLR pin 2 hot? (no unbalanced avail)

    I'm picking up an old Accuphase G-18 equalizer to offset my hearing loss. My research shows that the G-18 has pin 3 hot. How do I resolve this hook up anomaly, as the Accuphase has pin 3 hot, and my Boulder 865 has pin 2 hot? There are no unbalanced inputs on my Boulder. Thanks, a befuddled Ken
