Just curious here. All things being equal would you go balanced or unbalanced if you have the option for both?
Got to watch it here, as many pieces of equipment especially tubes are only "pseudo balance", with an opamp or balanced circuit at the input or output of what is essentially a complete single ended design.
The rca with 1-5mt interconnects will sound better in these cases because it bypasses these opamps. (Unless 10mt of interconnect are used)
If you look at a circuit diagram it’s easy to tell if you know, if not ask the manufacture for "an honest answer in writing", ("Is this equipment balanced all the way from input to output"?) if he won’t give it, give him the big flick
