Wanted to get your opinion
Currently have chord dave connected directly to Luxman m900u via audience au24sx RCA cable , last week purchased Luxman preamp cl1000 so need cables , should I get another au24sx RCA and connect pre to power amp ? My understanding is that cl1000 is not a balanced preamp and since I already have audience rca would it be best to keep all RCA and same interconnects from dac to pre and from pre to power amp ?
Thanks guys

I would recommend you stay with the Audience RCA if you like the current cable you have been using.

Thanks Dan , I do find Audience au24sx to be very neutral, ok so no problem with keeping it all RCA since dac and preamp are both are primarily designed with single ended architecture at first but balanced capable ...
wonder if anyone here used cl1000 , I'm just starting to get familiar with it , thanks

Thanks for your feedback, I think it also depends on your electronics some preamps , amps , dacs play sound better when using balanced , I guess only way for me to really found out it try to get both and compare,,
Just wondering if you have tried AU24SX prior to moving up the level with front row , thank you

How do you like your CL1000 paired with M900U ?
I'm looking at CL1000 + 2 M-10X bridged VS Gryphon Essence pre + Essence Monos.
