Have a client over there in the States who's asked me to fab up another batch of cables for him. He initially ordered some RCA to XLR cables and I gave him pre-warning that a signal path from S.E. to XLR via a cable isn't going to offer any benefits and won't magically become a 'balanced' signal. Beneficial of course if you're restricted on I/O options where you have to use such a cable. I bridge pins 1 and 3 at the XLR connector, 2 is hot of course.
In any case he's come back asking for more RCA-RCA and XLR-XLR cables to use with an S.E. to XLR converter box which will sit in the midlle of his signal path.
Not having had any experiences with such devices I'd be interested to know what your thoughts are on this box of tricks from avahifi?
The customer's looking to achieve lower distortion figures of his amp by setting it to mid-gain instead of high-gain in concert with the box of tricks.
Seems a bit of an exuberent and expensive experiment if you ask me, but you know what they say; 'the customer is always right!'
