Phono cartridge output is inherently balanced but one side is often grounded in practice. However, you would need a phono stage with a balanced input to take advantage of a balanced output from a cartridge. (I did that many years ago when I played LPs.)
Changing Turntable to Balanced Output
So I’ve read that a balanced output (XLR) is sonically superior to unbalanced RCA cables.Is it possible to just add adapters to do this? Is it better to rewire the Tonearm? I own an Acoustic Signature Triple X which has a hard wired tonearm cable so this not an easy solution. Just wondering if anyone has done this and if it’s worth it?
