Balanced a good decision. Why?


If I have a choice of coming out of my Marantz MM7025 with a balanced or RCA into a preamp, which to use, and why? Thank you

Unless you have a highly revealing system and are spending thousands on cables it won't matter a hoot.

I would suggest get the best quality used cable you can afford, Cardas maybe?

Balanced cancel out RFI from the line You won’t hear it so much as what it does to subtle passages.

I have to agree. I have done extensive comparisons and even with long runs… 5 meters I really could not discern a difference. Theoretically they perform much better… but I think in reality it is a function of the components you are using.
