What's the benefit of balanced tonearm cables?


My phone stage (bat vkp10) has xlr and rca inputs. bat vk50se preamp. I use all balanced cables for everything except the tonearm cable.

What's the benefit between your cartrige to phone stage?

Thanks!

A phono cartridge is by nature of the design a balanced source to begin with. If you're lucky enough to have a phono stage with balanced inputs then by all means do take advantage! The benefit over unbalanced is reduction in hum & noise pickup via significantly better common mode rejection ratio.
