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.
Thanks for any input you may have,
Dave

I have a krell kav 300d that I connect to my krc3 though balanced cables - I had some problems with my balanced interconnects (some old MIT proline - the right cable just died), and switched to single ended cables for awhile - I was frankly pretty surprised at how much worse the single ended cables sounded compared to some pretty cheap blue jeans balanced interconnects that I just got. With the balanced the music is just much more "there" if that makes any sense.
