I have been told by several sources whose names escape me that if one has a 1/4" on one end and an XLR jack on the other, the ideal solution is a 1/4" cable, an XLR cable, and a DI box between 'em. The reason being is that a 1/4" - XLR cable is prone to signal loss.
Can anyone bear this out for me? Is there any evidence I can look at? All my data is anecdotal and I don't have the means to test it myself. Thank you kindly.
