In a blind test here Transporter balanced outs were easy to discern from it's rca outs.
>From reading op's description the test at my house appears to have been as well constructed and went on for some time. I was comparing a modded TP to a stock. Then I compared the modded TP's rca to it's xlr: the xlr was identifiable Same results with the stock TP. In both cases we felt the xlr sounded better. Modded TP xlr V stockTP xlr : could not tell a difference either blind or sighted. Absolutely "failed" that blind test and wasn't tempted to mod my TP. I used a balanced pre amp and levels were matched with rat shack spl. All I can say is that at that time , in my system, 2 people were able to hear differences. I wouldn't want to assume any more than that. I don't think my results would invalidate other's results or vice versa. Thare are so many variables involved in all kinds of tests it is hard to draw definitive conclusions. If I can get my friend back over with his spl meter we can do it again with the SB3.
