![]() The advantage of running a cartridge balanced is of course to minimize any artifact from the cable- meaning an inexpensive cable can sound just as good as one costing 2 or 3 orders of magnitude more! Its arguable that this is the one place you really want to get it right! Similarly if an input transformer is used with a LOMC cartridge (and the transformer is properly loaded to prevent ringing) then the tonearm interconnect will have far less effect on the sound of the system. You might say that the balanced line system itself was the exotic cable industry prior to Robert Fulton creating his first ’Fulton cable’ back in the late 1970s. ![]() This was long before an exotic cable industry existed. This allowed the tape machine to have microphones a good 150 feet from the machine with no degradation of the mic signal. The input used an input transformer as well. Its internal circuitry is entirely single-ended except for the push pull output it has driving its output transformer to drive a 600 Ohm balanced line. The Ampex 351 tube tape electronics were used to record a great deal of classical and jazz recordings done by RCA and the like. Balanced shmalanced.unless all your components are differentially balanced, you will not get the improved performance.
