sorry Rich the experment isn't valid if using different cables
Consider Linkster's post: the player isn't internally balanced by design. In order to achieve a balanced output, they tack on a differential line driver circuit following the unbalanced output. Additional electronics are now involved in that interface - it theoretically shouldn't be any better - how could it possibly be?
