What's the benefit of balanced tonearm cables?


My phone stage (bat vkp10) has xlr and rca inputs. bat vk50se preamp. I use all balanced cables for everything except the tonearm cable.

What's the benefit between your cartrige to phone stage?

Thanks!

I use balanced (XLR) connections from the cartridge, through the pre, through the amp.  ....I can put my ear to the speaker cones on phono input and hear nothing...dead silence.  This contributes to the clarity/definition, and transparent listen experience.
I can clearly hear the differences in balanced cable....are you saying that balanced cables sound alike?
