Balanced vs Unbalanced?

I am vaguely aware of the scientific merits of "Balanced wiring". I am only interested in the "Audio" merits.
CJ, a company that makes some of the best equipment on the planet, has no "Balanced" equipment that I know of. This puts some doubt on the audio merits of this circuitry. What is your opinion.

IMHO, Audio merits are based on scientific merits. There is no magic here.

BTW, this topic has been debated for the Nth times. Search is your friend, my
friend.

Herman,
IMHO, SETs are distortion generators. They can make a Yamaha violin sounds
like a Stradivarius. Like guitar amps, they should be considered more like a
musical instrument than audio reproducing equipment. Can SETs sound
good? Sure, I like them too. I used to built them when I was much younger.
But they are not Hi-Fi amps.

I know many people will disagree. Since we are talking about Hi-Fi here, Hi-
Fi or High Fidelity means faithfully reproduce. If an amp can make a Yamaha
violin sounds like a Stradivarius, it is not Hi-Fi, no matter how good it may
sound to some people.
