Has anyone compared the XC against the NR? I realize their application however, sonically is there a noticeable difference if using an XC on a preamp specifically? I'm referring to the latest or V2 versions.

I just got in Sigma XC and NR. It feels like there is a slightly lower noise floor on the NR cables. Probably can’t go too wrong with either but XC on the amp makes sense.

Hi Lee. For an amplifier going directly into the wall would the NR noise reduction be of benefit vs XC? QR would be best but it’s quite a lot more. My Gryphon needs 2 PCs.

I believe you want XC for that.
