Can anyone recommend a good balanced phono cable


I am new to vinyl. I have a Merril Scilia MS2 turntable,B&W 800 series speakers, Classe ca-400 Amp, Bat Vk 51 se pre ,and Bat vkp10 phono stage.

Bat tells me that the phono stage should be used with the balance inputs and balanced outputs for optimum performance. I don't see to many balanced phono cables around. Doe anyone have any advice?

Bigbucks,
It's a piece of cake to rewire tonearm for balanced cables by splitting ground wire onto both channels and than connecting pos-neg correspondedly to XLR plugs. The cartridge output is realy meant to be balanced, but there are not too many phonostages that have balanced input.
