? about going balanced from pre to power


Hi.
I am planning on using balanced interconnects from a sonic frontiers line 3 to a McCormack DNA 2 deluxe and was wondering if there might be a problem with the extra gain?
The line 3 has six db more gain from the balanced outputs and the DNA 2 adds six db more gain for the balanced inputs which will add 12 db more gain to the system.
My speakers are custom built and are fairly sensitive,do you think that going balanced will raise the noise floor to an unacceptable level?
Thanks in advance for your help.

The only thing you should notice is maybe your volume control will be at a slightly different setting. Regarding noise, balanced runs usually reduce noise by cancelling it out. You should have slightly better sound, not worse.
