[QUOTE="GordonW, post: 2269503, member: 568981"] Balanced lines have the advantage of rejecting RF noise better than single-ended interconnects (ie, RCA). RF in the signal, CAN have the effect of making hiss/noise/grit/grain worse. Having the amp deal with abnormally high frequency content/RF might cause it to go unstable, in some cases... many amp designs are NOT meant for that kind of bandwidth! Of course, RF-stoppers (ie, the ferrite beads that snap onto interconnects and power cables) can help in a case like this, with RCA interconnects. But, there's only so much you can do, when the cable itself WANTS to act like an antenna (unlike a balanced cable, where RF basically CANCELS ITSELF OUT, inherently)... Regards, Gordon. [/QUOTE]
