balanced xlr are also more expensive than the rca type.
That might be a fair distinction, but a distinction without a practical difference. If you use the old school method of setting an AM radio receiver between broadcast stations and walking around you'll generally find a lot of noise in the "air."
Interesting. I was recently at my local HI FI shop and I was listening to a MC275 and I forgot the speakers but the owner said and I quote, " I think it sounds better single ended than through balanced" lol I guess we all hear and listen different.I use mcintosh pre and power amplifiers and they are fully balanced.I noticed a big improvement going to fully balanced interconnects after years of using single ended rca.I was even told this by the dealer that all mcintosh sounds better fully balanced.in your case it might be different Ron.
That is a surprise to me but your right , we all listen differently.mcintosh always says in its manual to connect with balanced cable.Interesting.

Do you have a tentative date to move in?
Ron, I suffered with you. I've had the "pleasure" of flooding twice. Is everything dry now?On Tuesday night I saw a pond of water on the floor of my listening room 4 feet long and 3 feet wide.

A defective washing machine hose (not a Miele device ) and a defective pump.What caused each flood?
Don't forget Europe. Built stone on stone. I understand how you mean it. But wood is on the rise.... Marrakesh, Morocco, AFRICA, is built out of poured concrete or cinderblocks
As an aside, it was quite frustrating to see that every single building we observed in Marrakesh, Morocco, AFRICA, is built out of poured concrete or cinderblocks -- not the crappy, flimsy wood and nails residential construction we have in the USA.

Not a guess but a fact. That's true depending on each listener preference.Interesting.
