In my opinion it can have more to do with the manufactuers design of the gear you own than any difference in the cable types, contact them for their opinion.
Balanced versa single-ended
What is the general consensus (if there is one) on balanced versa single ended operation for gear that supports both?
If all of your components are balanced (source, pre-amp, amp), but you connect everything (or just source let’s say) as single ended, what do you lose if anything?
Here is my dilemma. All my components are balanced and connected that way. I want to move to passive pre-amp whose cost is significantly less for single ended version. My source is Wadia 581 player. What will I lose if I connect Wadia to pre-amp using single ended interconnects, and connect pre-amp to the amp with single ended as well?
I was not able so far to assess this myself due to lack of interconnects, so I was wondering if anyone has done such comparison of moving from balanced to single ended?
