Is a balanced XLR cable inherently less critical than a single ended RCA one?


I am currently using a completely balanced system. TT to preamp to amps. The cable from TT to preamp is inexpensive Mogami and the cable from preamp to amps is an even less expensive generic from Amazon.
I got the Mogami cable from the manufacturer who says that this balanced connection does not require an expensive cable and says the same for the other connection. IME with single ended cables, they make a very significant difference. Are balanced a different story?

I have 25' runs of balanced interconnect between preamplifier and amplifier.  I tried three different pairs.  They all sound different.  One was best.  For me it was NOS Discovery Cable.
