which turntable or how to convert to balanced phono setup?

In a typical DIN to RCA cable, the shield would be connected to “ground”, which is also carrying the negative phase of the signal in balanced mode. That’s not a great idea. In a DIN to XLR cable the shield has its own termination isolated from the negative phase. That’s better. Anyway, every balance phono I’m familiar with offers XLR inputs.

That’s unfortunate. If you ever have the chance, give a listen to an Audio Research Reference phono stage. They’re really first class.

I realize you love ARC, and I’ve figured out that’s why you keep bringing up RCAs, but most cannot afford ARC Reference, and what they do is unusual. Anyway my concern is not with “ground” but with the shield that might carry RFI. After my last post I realized the shield can be connected to the middle post in a 5 pin DIN and should not then be connected to the RCAs at all. That’s probably what ARC does. So we’re good.

No, I mentioned RCA connectors because it was responsive to the OP's question:

... 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

I just wanted him to understand that with his Teac phono preamp he'd get the same result whether using RCA or XLR connectors.

Do you know for a fact that the RCA jacks on the TEAC offer input to the balanced circuit? More likely the RCAs ground the negative phase of a balanced signal inside the chassis and convert to SE operation. That’s what Atma-sphere does with their amplifiers, so those who have SE components upstream can stay SE in the amplifier.
