Thanks... added to cart while I figure out what to use between DSPs and amps.

You really ought to use XLR if for nothing else but reducing the possibility of ground loop noise.

What the hell, John? I expected you to have constructed site-specific drawings detailing the installation of all components, cable part numbers and routing. And a final draft Site Acceptance Test document. Now I find out you're scrambling. Come on, man! LOL!

I second the vote for XLR mainly to make sure your noise floor can be as low as possible. The last thing you need is a loop with such a setup.

Yeah, guilty as charged. Work has been a lot more chaotic than I expected and I am scrambling on all fronts.

Added some XLR cables to the order... hopefully I got the genders right. Maybe I'll unbox the amps and DSPs just to be sure.

EDIT: Woof, ADA1500's are heavy. Looks like Axiom follows the "inputs are female, outputs are male" convention so a bunch of female-to-male cables should work. Ordered.

Thanks everyone !

You need female on one end male on the other for DSP to ADA. The DSP input needs a male.

Great, thanks. I think I'm still going to have to run RCA from pre-amp to DSPs unless/until I upgrade the pre-amp.

I'm running one of those TubeDAC combos at the moment... no XLR's.

I guess I'm going to end up with two stacks of electronics... probably DSP on the bottom (Ian says that should be OK), then ADA1500, then CD player on top of one ADA1500.

The TubeDAC doesn't have a phono input so I figure I'll move the turntable and HK receiver into the basement, hook up the MP5s there, and use that for ripping/playing LPs. At some point I guess I'm going to have to go look for a gadget that streams from the PC into the pre-amp.

I see why kids just play music on their phones laugh

EDIT: OK, plan B. I ordered a basic Pro-Ject phono pre-amp, plus an acrylic platter so I can install the moving coil cartridge I bought about 10 years ago. Now I can have a turntable on top of the other DSP/ADA1500 stack.

Might end up wishing I had a subsonic filter somewhere in the path... we'll see.

Craig, are you using XLR or RCA connects between DSP and amp ?

Short RCA cables seem to be pretty common but short XLR's not so much...


John - We have Blue Jeans Cable's top RCA interconnects.
