Unbalanced to balanced VPI junction box change?

I have a VPI classic 1 with Valhalla wiring. Currently have a rca junction box and considering changing for XLR. My only reservation is needing to upgrade wiring along with the junction box. For my taste an approximate $1000.00 upgrade. I love the sound now, would be worth upgrading?

You would not need to upgrade the tonearm wiring, it just plugs into the connection box with the Limo connector already there. The wiring inside the box are so short lengths 1 to 2 " that I would not worry about that what so ever. Question is why would you want to change the box, do you have a balanced phono stage ?

Good Listening

Well thanks for the clarification :-) Any balanced cable will work, see Ralph Carsten's (Atmasphere) explanation above, you will be pleasantly surprised.

IMO balanced is the only way to run a LOMC Cartridge.

Good Listening
