How to accomodate a balanced only phono stage ?

I've got my eye on an expensive Phono stage that only accepts balanced inputs - from my experience about 99.9% of the tables out there are single ended only. Is there a cost effective way to convert an single ended turntable to supply a balanced input of a phono stage (without compromising the signal)? thanks for any input.

English is not my native language and I don't really know that much about cartridges. But if I were to buy a phono amp like the Blue amp Surzur, which to my knowledge is of a fully balanced design would I benefit from using XLR cables.
The junction box on my VPI scout can be replaced by a XLR junction box. Or should I just use RCA cables.

In addition does anyone have any experience with a blue amp Surzur?
