Here's a pic of my new stack. The C2C is big!

I thought when I reviewed the C2C that it was tremendous value, even though I could only go how it compared to the LD MKV and the descriptions in other people's reviews, such as the tightness and detail in the bass, as well as the sound when headphones were plugged into my Lavry vs. plugged into the C2C. I'm glad that my impressions have been validated. |

I can't hear any difference at all. I'd like to be able to say XLR is better, but I have nothing to base it on. I'll still probably keep it hooked up with XLR though, just cause I can. |
