RE: Is this a balanced signal path?

Depending on the design of the cable, your return ground may end up being the other half of the signal... your main signal wire in the RCA would carry one half of the balanced signal, the negative/return/ground may carry the other - and you might not have a "ground" which is usually the 3rd wire in a balanced cable... Whether that sounds good (the ground carrying half of the circuit)? but it will work electrically, again depending on the design of the cable... Some cables do not connect the return/ground between 2 ends (say amp or preamp) for sonic reasons.
