Balanced Interconnects??


Hello, What exactly are balanced vs unbalanced interconnects? I'm looking at some of Audioquests new line of interconnects, particularly the coral, to use as an interconnect between my Rotel integrated amp and CD player. Some of their cables are double balanced and others like the coral are triple balanced.Should these cables be used for special applications or equipment? Any info you guys could provide would be greatly appreciated.

The AQ Coral sounds great! I'm using it to limp along with my Rotel CD for now. MUCH more transparent and resolving than similar Monster, for example. It replaces the Ruby, and sounds better than it or Topaz, INHO.
