There is a great misconception that balanced cables are superior to single ended, in a sysytem that requires a very long interconnect a balanced cable may be quieter then single ended but this may not always be the case. Even if your electronics are a truly balanced designed does not mean it will perform superior with balanced cables. I have tried both and have always preferred singled ended cables. I suggest you audition any cables before making a decision. Do not evaluate the cables as parts, example, bass, treble, soundstage ect. listen to the music as a whole.
