Inspired by another forum post, I’m looking to ground lift my Neutrik RCA socket to XLR male adapter. It currently has the red wire soldered to pin 2 and the black wire soldered to pin 1 with a connection joining 1 to 3. I’m thinking the black wire should be soldered to pin 3 only and pin 1 should be redundant. Correct?
2014 Mac Mini running Roon via Vodafone hub/Amazon basics ethernet cable into:
- Devialet 440 (RCA to ground lifted AES)
- Focal Sopra 2 (YYAudio Black Magic speaker cable)
- Rel S812 x 4 (std hi-level cables and £25 Van Damme Speakon array connects, Cruiser class £35 Chinese mains cables)
- no intentional room treatment.
