RE: Balance vs rca inputs

I'm in total agreement with Par. If you are not in a environment that is loaded with EMI etc you don't need balanced connections.

For instance, I'm in a basement and run 20 foot long cables from preamp to amp. I have all AC cables plugged into one power outlet thru an AC regulator with a voltage in/out readout. The listening room has a 20amp circuit installed for audio only. I don't have a lick of any anomalies whatsoever so it really depends on your environment.

Balanced connections were originally designed for long cable runs many years ago, and recording studios&live sound still use them to this day where there is no control on the environment.

I will add that equipment/system ground issues should not be confused with environmental ones.
