Been playing around with different pre and power amps the last while, seeing which combination works and sounds best.Turns out my Meridian 557 power amp (XLR and RCA) inputs has amazing synergy with a Densen DM20 Preamp (Boogie ‘n grunt is addictive)
but have a thought about connecting them up?
Densen is unbalanced RCA out only, and the Meridian’s best input (from Meridian forum and reviews back in the day) is its XLR inputs.
Wondering what’s the best way (if it can be done without a drop in gain or quality) to let me use XLR with my preamp?
know you can get adapters, and adapter cables to convert, but it’s not the same is it?
Looked at the pro-audio side,
There are “DI boxes” which seem to do the job of transformer converting RCA to XLR (rather than just an adapter that makes the connection physically fit), but you know...
Thats for guitar pedals n such.
Looking to get the use of the Meridians XLR inputs from the Densen Preamp, is there an “Audiophile” solution for this?
Thanks Much.
