If you've been using the vdH Silver Hybrid, you have a big surprise in store if/when you switch to any of the following:
Silver Cable
Hovland MusicGroove 2
Purist Venustas
Cardas Golden Reference
XLO
and probably a couple others I left out.
I couldn't believe what I'd been missing before I got rid of that thing!
You're very lucky to have a balanced input phono preamp or stage. Cartridges are inherently balanced devices, and will transfer more (of their very small) current through a balanced phono cable.
All of the above cables can be ordered with balanced connectors.
