I have a BAT preamp. Would there be any advantage to buying Cardas adapters so I can use my balanced inputs. What would be the drawbacks. My interconnect from my phono pre is currently the Cardas Clear Light interconnect (RCA to RCA).
The Cardas adapters connect pin 3 (the minus leg of the balanced signal) to pin 1 (ground). This turns the BAL input into a single ended input. No advantage and maybe some adverse effects.
", buy a true balanced phono stage to go with your balanced linestage." Or buy a single ended phono pre with an output transformer like the K&K Audio Maxed Out. Transformer coupling can provide a true "balanced" out.
