best way to run cables to my monitors? I have MR5 monitors, and I noticed some fuzz when no sound was playing, so I tried the unbalanced TS to RCA. I noticed a loss of sound loudness and hard hittin base vs the TS to TS running through the balanced input.

MR5 only has rca unbalanced in, but it sounded better with TS to TS in the balanced in?
what is best, GC said just buy balanced cables it makes no difference? HUH?

clear this up.

So less power with the RCA, lower output, vs LOUDER a bit more hum with unbalanced TS to TS balanced input!

I would turn it to 3 notches with the TS TO TS, and it was lound RCA I can go half way up and the base isn't as prominant.
