balanced output VPI

I just bought a RCM Prelude Sensor phono pre. This phono pre has the option for balanced input over RCA. I own a VPI scout wich means I can use a normal RCA cable. Can I just flip the dip switch on teh back of my RCM to have the benfit of balanced input or are things more complicated then that?

The interlink I use is a special RCA RCA phono cable with an extra clamps for ground signal.

I know I can buy the XLR junction box. But I think these are highly over priced. At least for a VPI Scout they are. But then I would need a XLR-RCA cable and I would perfer a RCA-RCA cable.

From what I understood is that if I disconnect the ground from the plus in the RCA junction box I can use it balanced.

Thank you all for the advice. If I use a special RCA to RCA cable. I would need to modify the junction box. Maybe I will do this inthe future.

For now I will just enjoy the music. My girlfriend would not be amused if right now I would start about buing cables. But maybe in the future I will keep an eye open for the Nordost Blue heaven leif RCA-RCA phono cable.

@Riffer,

When I look at the manual:

I find nothing about how the juctions box is wired.
