If there's any chance of picking up noise, hum, etc., balanced will be beneficial even in a home setup. If a cable tv DVR or satellite box is involved there is an increased chance of hum. A balanced setup will help here.
Follow Ups:
If possible, the phono stage should be run balanced or differential..... Especially if moving coil cartridges are used.
But anywhere else, the hum and noise is insignificant to where single-ended would work fine.
"If possible, the phono stage should be run balanced or differential..... Especially if moving coil cartridges are used."Totally agree, but do any systems actually do that ? If you use single conductors shielded, balanced doesn't work all that well. You need biax, two internal conductors and of course they should be shielded.
I know of no systems like that, do you ?
I am not abject to entering a venture to make one actually. In fact even a high quality amp that brings MC level up to MM level. Just flat response. Tailor the capacitance. Then send it to the main phono preamp unscathed.
But the thing is, I have not seen any posts from people with MC carts saying that "When they turned on it made a noise in my stereo". So it seems current technology is pretty much on top of it. I wouldn't count on becoming a fortune 500 company over it.
