RE: There is benefit even if the cable is 6 inches.

Ground is ignored so ground loops are kept to a minimum. This means less IMD in the final output too.

Magnetic fields that impinge a cable are less likely to be amplified because of the resulting signal being common to both conductors and so is rejected by the receiver of the signal.

Since there is no signal return current in the shield the construction of the cable is less critical.

One place a balanced line works really well is between a cartridge (which is a balanced source) and a phono preamp. If there is any place in a system where the cable has to get it right, this is it. You can't fix any signal downstream from flaws caused upstream!
