What is the advantage of a balanced interconnect?
How does a balanced interconnect work (perform) as opposed to a regular interconnect?
I've been out of the "market" for a while and am a little behind. It seems "balanced" is better; however, one guy told me that unless I am running long lengths I don't need to worry about balanced interconnects. Equipment would be NAD or Parasound CD Player, undetermined DA Converter (the $3,000 question), tube monoblocks, and Magneplaner speakers (probably just 1.6's). [I think I hope to purchase a DAC with a volume control and run the interconnect directly to the amplifier - no pre-amp. I think.]
A quick primer on balanced interconnects would be appreciated. Thanks

Nothing unless you have runs exceeding 15 feet or a weak signal from your preamp or an ungodly amount of electrical or radio interference in your area. This is a beaten-to-death thread, so don't be surprised if you don't get a lot of replies. I have used both, and the only time it made any difference was with 5 meter runs from preamp to amps. Rich |
Delsfan, the following is interesting, and as Herman mentioned , there is a wealth of info in the forums. Ed. http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?ddgtl&1079758386&openusid&zzBuscis2&4&5#Buscis2 |
