RE: Balanced Versus Unbalanced

FWIW, I just built balanced cables to connect my SimAudio 280d streamer/DAC to my Pass INT-60 on the other side of the room, routing them down and across the basement ceiling, back up through the ash dump of an unused fireplace. Zero noise, no worries, no perceivable difference in sound over the previous 3 ft single-ended connection.

Sourced materials through the Guitar Center - Mogami Gold star/quad cable by the foot, Neutrik XLR connectors. 35 ft run. About an hour to build, an hour to fish.

Goal is to make the cables invisible, does not contribute positively to the Living Room decor. The Pass is a weighty thing of beauty, but it's best in its own shrine slightly out of sight in my home.
