Balanced/Unbalanced --- Whats the difference?


Hi Im not a tech head.

What I want to know is what's the diffence between balanced connections and RCA. Is balanced substantially better and why?

If I buy a brand like BAT (integrated) and use RCA to connect to my CD Player, am I underutilising its capabilities?

Thanks

I know I will pay dearly for this but when I hook-up the Krell 280 CDP to my 400XI with Hero RCA ICs, tremendous amount of bass and warm sounding. As opposite, with Hero XLR I get more details and less "big bass", very balanced sounding. This is just my own experience with my own gears. I understand others will think otherwise.
