Sometimes yes, sometimes no, however we don't use transformers

I am actually an advocate for keeping things simple, as I suspect you are.

Where a transformer really works well is if you have a single-ended preamp, but have to run the cable a good long distance, something you can't do single-ended. Then a set of transformers at either end of the cable will be less colored than a single-ended cable of the same length with no transformers.

However, we don't use transformers in our gear and so can have a benefit even with very short runs. We've all heard differences between RCA-based cables and have often favored one over the other; often paid more for it. What if you could have the best cable made cost-no-object, but didn't have to pay the cost? That is what balanced line really offers.
