If your player is single-ended, it cannot easily be made to be truly balanced. One could add another active stage, an inverter, to create a balanced signal, but that would be conterproductive (an extra stage the signal goes through) unless you are running an extremely long interconnect between the player and your linestage or amplifier and need a balanced signal to cancel common mode sources of noise.
Single ended or change to Balanced ?
I have a CD player that I really like and is single ended only. My ML 383 has Balanced or Single ended. Should I consider adding Balanced to my existing player or would I be just be wasting time and money on this? Comes down to the fact that I just want to try the Balanced on the 383 but for now I cannot do that. In the past when I have had players with Balanced I have heard the difference in most cases over single ended. I know this is not true with all players.
