Changing Turntable to Balanced Output

Thanks everyone. I do have balanced out of my phonostage as well as balanced inputs on my Octave V70 Class A amp. I might change out the RCA’s for XLR’s as lean suggested. Not thinking it’s worth it after reading this from the Modwright site:

@audiosaurusrex I don't see anything there that has anything to do with the phono section.

👍Good luck!🙃

"" The output of a cartridge is in principle balanced UNTIL one side (usually the negative) is connected to ground. This may happen at the cartridge (where the (-) side of one channel is connected to a magnetic screen around the cartridge internal wiring..""

Some cartridges came with 3 not 4 pin connectors. I can't find out a " vintage " thread where the normal statement that the cartridge is a balanced design was questioned by serious high technical knowledge oriented Agoners and if I remember J.Carr posted down there and the final conclusion was that in reality the cartridge is not a true balanced design.

I have not the elements about but that " cartridge balanced " could be a little controversiallly. I think that other Agoner in that thread was kirkus along dgarretson. I wish I could find out because is of true ineterest for all of us. Unfortunatelly I can't remember the technoical foundation about but exist somewhere.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

@atmasphere 

on the second page it speaks to the balanced outs coming from the phonostage. I’m not really sure this true balanced outs because the transformers feed both sidle ended and XLRs. I am relatively new to this.
