A primary advantage of balanced has nothing to do with cable length

And everything to do with how the cable sounds!

If you want to get rid of cable artifact, balanced is how you do it (so you won't have to audition cables to know they sound right).

The problem is that in order for that to happen, the gear should support the balanced line standard. These days, that's known as the AES file 48.

Most high end audio manufacturers don't know about the standard so buyer beware. Ask them; if they don't know about AES File 48, probably a good idea to move on, unless you don't mind auditioning cables.

Balanced, working properly, is why so many audio engineers will tell you that interconnect cables don't make a difference!
