balanced output VPI

I just bought a RCM Prelude Sensor phono pre. This phono pre has the option for balanced input over RCA. I own a VPI scout wich means I can use a normal RCA cable. Can I just flip the dip switch on teh back of my RCM to have the benfit of balanced input or are things more complicated then that?

The interlink I use is a special RCA RCA phono cable with an extra clamps for ground signal.

You can buy a special balanced output "block" for lack of a better word from VPI

Good Listening

I know I can buy the XLR junction box. But I think these are highly over priced. At least for a VPI Scout they are. But then I would need a XLR-RCA cable and I would perfer a RCA-RCA cable.

From what I understood is that if I disconnect the ground from the plus in the RCA junction box I can use it balanced.

I don't know the answer, but that is an interesting feature.
