Home Tape Trail

Reel to reel, cassette and other analogue tape formats.

At first I was using the mono price...

20-foot run RCA interconnects as the Revox PR 99 MKII is about 13 feet or there about away from the pre-amp. The sound was great with lots of resolution but the highs were a little spitty for my taste. So I decided to experiment with the interconnects by replacing them with 20-foot run NBS XLR cables that I have lying around. The sound is much more organic and well-balanced devoid of electronic hash.

I compared the regular configuration where I was using the normal XLR output vs. the DIN output back and forth and found out the DIN output is much more fluid and very transparent in delivering the music. As you said, by using the DIN output the signal will be routed away before it hits the output board in a way what I'm hearing is the signal from the tape heads with minimal interference. Am I correct in this assertion?
