Balanced or singled ended IC's? For HT setup.


Just purchased a Anthem AVM20 pre/pro to go with my
Sherbourn 7/2100 amp in my home theater.
My thinking is to purchase 1m ic's. Do you recommend
balanced or singled ended? Any mid brand recomendations?
Thanks in advance,
Mark

For 1 meter length on HT use, you probably wouldn't notice any difference between balanced and single-ended cables. Balanced is primarily designed to be better on long runs of cable, and 1 meter is not a long run. If your electronics use a truly balanced topology, there may be some benefit for balanced cable, but minor. If you have a massively RFI/EMI infected environment, you might achieve a small benefit there too.
