which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup?

Im a total noob with vinyl please bear with me,

I just purchased a b stock Teac PE 505 balanced phono preamp to replace a buggy Gold Note PH5

im looking for a turntable upgrade to run balanced with an mc cart

so aside from those tables that have xlrs outs,

is it just a matter of finding a din to xlr tone arm cable? or is there more to it?

I dont understand the differences between tables like mine that have RCA outs (technics 1200 gr2)

and those with "tone arm" cables

The Turntable itself, does not contribute to a Balanced Set Up. Additionally neither Stereo or Mono are coming from the Turntable, these are embedded into the Hard Medium being the Vinyl LP. For the Noob, think of the Vinyl Replay Source as a Trilogy > TT > TA > Cartridge. There will be those who give the Trilogy an order of Priorities to be considered and worked towards.
