    Might be interested in some stinking balanced cables. ??


    My amp does balanced and unbalanced. Sadly, I'm zero percent aware of the advantages and disadvantages of going balanced. :o

    Bens cables are worth 3x/4x what Larry's posting. One thing I don't flip is cables. Cables are the ultimate tuner if you are one who switches gear.

    One rig or component to the next, you'll never know if you have found your huckleberry

    Desktop rig: LSi7, Polk 110sub, Dayens Ampino amp, W4S DAC/pre, Sonos, JRiver
    Gear on standby: Melody 101 tube pre, Unison Research Simply Italy Integrated
    Gone to new homes: (Matt Polk's)Threshold Stasis SA12e monoblocks, Pass XA30.5 amp, Usher MD2 speakers, Dynaudio C4 platinum speakers, Modwright LS100 (voltz), Simaudio 780D DAC

    Balanced cables inherently cancel any induced noise from outside sources like EMI by carrying 2 identical signals, but having one inverted at the source, which is inverted back at the receiving equipment. Any noise that is picked up along the way is also inverted at the receiver on that one signal line and is cancelled out.

    Unbalanced lines can't do that.

    I once watched Ben twist a set of balanced silvers...by hand..
    As eccentric as he was.....he gave a lot of thought into every aspect of every detail. Be it cable design or frankenpolk speakers...... you will own a part of a persons respect of music.
