New Shooter Gunslinger Registered: 12/09/07 Posts: 34 Loc: Sunny Arizona	Hey outlaws: just got my 7500 up and running at X-mas with the 990. I have the unbalanced outlaw cables now and they sound awesome no hum at all. What will I get if I swich to the balanced outlaw cables??? Will it be mostly a cleaner sound with less distortation? Will it mean a higher gain in volume? Thanks Tom Happy new year! _________________________ New Shooter 990/7500 Dennon 1920 dvd/cd B&W 603/LCR600/600(S) Audioquest/Outlaw cables/Flat Wire Velodyne(sub) Mitsubishi DLP 52" 1080p Direct TV HD / Belkin PF60 B-tec speaker mounts

Over long distances or in very interference-prone environments (like the recording studios for which balanced connections were created), balanced connections can reject hum induced by interference. _________________________ gonk HT Basics \| HDMI FAQ \| Pics \| Remote Files \| Art Show Reviews: Index \| 990 \| speakers \| BDP-93
