I ran the Cardas adapters into the balanced input on my JC1s. The sound was slightly more extended and detailed but after a few weeks I went back to all single ended. All single ended works much better in my system. Im glad I tried it but it was kind of a waste of $75.00. Tonal balance is much better single ended. I am using Vandersteen subs and single ended mod 5 x overs though. I cant help but wonder if I had balanced x overs if I might get better results. Good luck.
