Since I already had a bunch of TRS patchcords (for use with a
patchbay), I often use them with my MOTM. This doesn't make any
difference as the ring is simply disconnected on each end. Even
going from MOTM to a balanced input works fine.
Last night I noticed that the oscillator in my Encore Frequency
Shifter was drifting. Often when a an oscillator drifts, it is due
to noise or some other problem with the power supply, but the Encore
FS using a digital oscillator with its own regulator. I checked a
bunch of things, but I couldn't figure out what was wrong. Then I
replaced the TRS cables going from its audio outputs to unbalanced
inputs, with TS cables and the problem went away.
