Once again, I would either call or PM Ralph (Atmasphere).

SE RCA to XLR... any benefit?
Quick question, I have my suspicions but wanted to get some feedback.
If I'm feeding a single-ended source into a balanced component is there any advantage to using RCA to XLR cables or do you end up in the same place just letting the device bridge the signal over from RCA inputs into the balanced circuit?
I know the term balanced is a bit loaded as it is seeming interchangeably used for:
- 3-Pin XLR balanced interconnects
- Components with a "fully" balanced circuit design
- 4-Pin XLR balanced (dual grounded) headphone cables
In this case, I'm talking about a component (like a balanced pre-amp, or a balanced headphone amp) where the signal coming in from a tube line stage is SE but the component has a balanced circuit and the capability to output balanced.
Thanks!
