Is there advantage to balanced phono-preamp


I'm currently using VPI Aries. Is there an advantage to a
phono-preamp that runs in balanced mode.

only if you have your VPI with XLR outputs, and all your other components that work  differntially balanced.  To be correctly balanced, electronics should have  completely seperate circuits for the plus and minus portions of the signal....  Most companies put on XLR connections and call their component balanced to add cache to their product....that isn't really balanced. Because of the separation, there are many more parts and  therefore greater cost in balanced circuits.
