Assuming your equipment has both balanced and RCA connections, I suggest you borrow one of each cable type and listen. You need to let your ears decide what sounds better in your system and your room. In my case, I decided to go with the balanced connections because it sounded better (IMHO). I have a Rowland Concentra I integrated amplifier and the Meridian 508.24 cd player. Balanced connections are more expensive so this option will cost you more money. Some audio equipment is not really balanced so you also need to check this. Good luck. cheers...
