The unit is balanced throughout according to Meridian. I use PGS Gold balanced. I had been using RCA Prior. I think the Balanced format gives a little blacker noise free background. Steve
I switched from Cardas Golden Cross (RCA) to Alpha Core Goertz Sapphire (XLR, silver and flat). The change yielded better treble definition, but with a slight dimunition of bass output.
