I was running my Axe Ultra into my QSC power amp with unbalanced cables, and replaced them today with a pair of Mogami Gold Reference balanced XLR cables (XLR on both ends), and I can swear that it sounds more aggressive. Does this sound strange? I actually like better with unbalanced cables!
Is there any benefit to running balance vs. unbalanced? I always thought, when given the choice, you would go with balanced connections, as they are lower noise, etc.? If there is no real benefit to me, I am thinking of going back to the unbalanced cables!
I may also try to take down the levels of my amp sims to compensate, but I wanted to check here before I do anything else.
Confused!!!
Please help.
