balanced outputs

Depending on who you talk to, balanced outputs are either the panacea to all ills or just another gimmick that adds 6 db to your output path.
Given that I have already spent a bunch on RCA interconnects, I guess i am biased towards single ended outputs. I am looking for an unbiased view. I was puzzled as to why two of the really high end preamps were devoid of balnced outputs, and also intrigued as to why other manufacturers like Krell now only offer balnced ouptuts exclusively.

It doesn't make sense not to use balanced interconnects. True balanced circuit designs should be used in every high end system. Balanced circuits would put the high $$$ snake oil cable salesmen out of business.
Designing true balanced preamps can be difficult to do because of the volume control.

Ivyinvestor, what electrical shielding of cables in the walls are you referring to?
