I love colorful cables. I would love to have one of those game Pc's with lots of those neon lights and water cooling systems. Just love it.

You should be using mono 1/4" plugs btw... the outputs are not stereo hence why there is a left and right.

Nope!. That's when you are using a balanced source to a balanced amp. Since my amp (NKK-01) is unbalanced, you need to configure it like that, to get the best sound out of your 1212m. Basically, you need a unbalanced cable.

care to educate me on the reasoning and logic behind that... how exactly do you go about wireing them in that configuration.
how does that give you the best sound?

I swear I won’t sell this one, yeah right.

The signal from the 1212m is coming out balanced (default), so if you use a mono connector, you are sending both channel signals (right and left) to one amp’s channel. You just need to send the right signal to the right channel and the left to the left channel, as an unbalanced connection. Sound is very clean and neat, like this.

Yeah, I thought this is exactly why you used the mono 1/4 plugs...

Explain how a cable with an RCA on the end is balanced? RCA plugs are unbalanced. Think about an XLR (balanced) plug, you have Positive, negative (180 degrees out of phase), and ground. So three contacts. RCA plugs only have two, positive and negative...you cannot make them balanced.

The signal from the 1212m is going out (balanced), so if you use the mono 1/4 connector, the soundcard is sending two signals thru the cable to the rca connector. We just need one signal to get to the rca cable (unbalanced). This topic has been discussed (here) before. Please, do some search. Thanks.

Exactly, you shouldn’t be sending a balanced signal (using mono connectors) to the rca's (unbalanced). That's exactly the point. I mean, you can but it's not the right way to do it.
If you use the 1/4 stereo connectors, only the right signal will be sent to the right RCA connector and only the left signal will be sent to the left RCA connector. Of course, every channel soldered individually. Thanks.

This is a mini to RCA that I just finished. It's done out of Canare, all the way. It sounds marvelous.
