Is there a difference in balanced cables??


From one brand to another, is there a difference? I am new here and I have noticed there is not as much discussion concerning balanced cables as compared to speaker or I/C cables. My gear is connected with balanced cables from Blue Jean Cables. Good enough?

The balanced wire configuration, and really the output/input circuitry that is balanced, avoids problems that single-ended wire tries to minimize by exotic construction and materials. Thus with the balanced configuration the wire itself is less of a factor, and so receives less discussion.

If you want an argument it is balanced vs unbalanced. While balanced is technically superior, and universally used in professional long line applications, it's advantage in the typical home audio system is questionable.
In my case, with 25 ft interconnects, I have used both balanced and unbalanced, and find no difference.

Baffled...Our Guru, Albertporter, has recommended Blue Jeans cables. What more do you need to know?
Drrdiamond..My ears too, but for those who must have affirmation from a guru, Albert is the gold standard.
