Have been hitting the secondary markets to replace some aging equipment. Found a Mac 871 CD player for around $0.15 on the dollar and a Mac 2600 tube pre-amp. Still using my old Yamaha M4 amp and my TimeWindows.

There has been a suggestion to use XLR cables between the CD unit and pre-amp since those connections are supposed to be cleaning providing better sound. But the amp is an old unit with only RCA inputs. Right now the units are connected with high quality cable using the RCA connections. Amp is connected to the speaker with Monster Cable

In the opinion of this group, is it worth spending the $350 on the XLR to connect CD and pre-amp.

Thanks you in advance for your advice.
