no...you need differentially balanced equipment throughout to make a meaningful difference.
would I benefit getting a balanced amp (BAT 55se) - given my pre-amp is RCA output
in brief,
I have VPI turntable (RCA output) running to Manley Chinook Phono Pre (RCA output) running to Threshold FTE 9 (RCA output) running to Threshold CAS1 (RCA input) running to Klipsch Cornwall
I am interested in getting a tube amp and am looking into a BAT 55SE, which has balanced input only.
Would this be a benefit given i would not be running it 'balanced'; using a RCA to Balanced cable.
