Classe owners: balanced vs. unbalanced?

Hi, I've read here that some amps do better balanced, and some unbalanced. Have any Classe owners experimented with the difference? I have a CP-35 preamp and CA-200 (new style, similar to CA-201) amp. My question is about interconnect between preamp and amp.

I need a 25-foot run.

Thanks for any experience.

I use 2 Classe' CA-201 Amps ( as monoblocks ). I have not expermented with bal/unbal. on these amps but have on others. Definitely, as a rule, go Balanced all the way ( as long as the Components are built on True Balanced Circuitry - some are NOT ). It Reduces the "noise floor" with a Blacker Background, hence, more Musical Detail !

I agree with Mitch2!
Especially with that Long of a Cable run - Balanced is the way to go.
But WOW - thats quite a Long Run - is it Absolutely nessessary??
Anyway to avoid that Long Run ?
