    Well I'm still needing a 1 m long set With male XLR x RCA. My B&K Ref pre has been acting up so I sent it to Goodwill. I guess I could send my silver eclipses back to Wirewold for retermination. That would be cheaper and faster than sending my amps in for rebuild

    Or buy balanced to RCA adapter?

    The interconnects appear to be shielded but it is not clear which end of the shield is grounded. Every shielded cable needs to have an arrow.

    You want to have the shielded end attached to ground on the component side that is doing the output. The other side should not be attached to the shields outer wrap.

    Ya, I looked at those but I would need a male XLR to male RCA adapter which they don't make and I'm trying to minimize extra crap in the signal path so...
