Unfortunately, no one type of connector exists that works with all types of components. A preamplifier might have RCA outputs, for example, while the amplifier has XLR inputs. How are they to be connected?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n<h2>Adapters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Purist Audio Design offers the solution: an array of adapters to connect any two pieces of equipment in a system. XLR can be linked to RCA, RCA to XLR, RCA to BNC, XLR to Fischer, and RCA to LEMO. Perhaps even a Y-connector is required. Quite simply, Purist Audio Design can make whatever the music lover needs.\n\nPurist Audio Design adapters use only the highest-quality metals: copper, silver, gold, even special alloys. They are fabricated in a single rigid construction, maintaining the integrity of the connection and avoiding sound degradation. Purist Audio Design can provide precisely the adapters needed to reveal the full potential of the audiophile&#8217;s unique combination of equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<span style=\"color:#ffffff;\">RCA\/M to BNC\/F<\/span>\n<p>Digital application only<\/p><p><\/p>\n\n\n<span style=\"color:#ffffff;\">BNC\/M to RCA\/F<\/span>\n<p>Digital application only<\/p>\n\n\n<span style=\"color:#ffffff;\">RCA to XLR<\/span>\n<p>Analog signal<\/p>\n\n\n<span style=\"color:#ffffff;\">XLR to RCA<\/span>\n<p>Analog signal<\/p>\n\n\n<span style=\"color:#ffffff;\">Y Adapter, RCA\/M to RCA\/F*2<\/span>\n<p>Analog signal<\/p>\n\n\n<span style=\"color:#ffffff;\">Y Adapter, XLR\/F to XLR\/M*2<\/span>\n<p>Analog signal<\/p>\n\n\n<span style=\"color:#ffffff;\">AC 20A\/M to 15A\/F<\/span>\n<p>For use with equipment with a 15A inlet and a cable with a 20A connector<\/p>\n\n\n<span style=\"color:#ffffff;\">AC 15A\/M to 20A\/F<\/span>\n<p>For use with equipment with a 20A inlet and a cable with a 15A connector<\/p>\n\n\n<span style=\"color:#ffffff;\">Phono Din Adapter<\/span>\n<p>For use with a tonearm that takes a 5-pin din and phono RCA to RCA cables.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<h2>Digital Isolation Adapter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Purist Audio design is proud to release a solution for impedance control between equipment with electrical isolation of the digital signal. <\/p>\n<h4>The adapter is designed to<\/h4>\n<p>Provide galvanic isolation from the transport to the DAC<br>\nReduce jitter by impedance control<br>\nReduce EMI\/RF noise<\/p>\n<h4>Usage<\/h4>\n<p>The adapter can either be plugged into the SPDIF (RCA) output of a CD Transport, or the SPDIF (RCA) Input of a D\/A. Connect the SPDIF (RCA) Digital cable into the adapter and equipment. Through our testing and usage, we have found the using the adapter on the D\/A&#8217;s SPDIF (RCA) input yields the most correction. <\/p>\n<h4>Construction<\/h4>\n<p>Purist Audio Design adapters use only the highest-quality metals: copper, silver, gold, even special alloys.
