Unbalanced to balanced VPI junction box change?

Thank you for the great info, but i am confused as ever. Let me clarify, i was refering to needing to upgrade to balanced IC and not tone arm wiring. The vpi balanced junction box comes with the Valhalla wiring. My dealer was explaining the balanced concept and lost me. I do have a preamp that accepts balanced input. Will any balanced cable work? If makes a difference and since my phono preamp accepts balanced connection i thought of taking full advantage of it. Thank you all.

Well thanks for the clarification :-) Any balanced cable will work, see Ralph Carsten's (Atmasphere) explanation above, you will be pleasantly surprised.

IMO balanced is the only way to run a LOMC Cartridge.

Good Listening

Peter has it right- in no way has anyone suggested that the tone arm be rewired!

Atmosphere...you're absolutely correct. I found that the high priced spread often is not as good as the lesser ones. I feel that there is no such thing as "The Absolute Sound". Yes, there are qualities that we appreciate being reproduced, but I've played in a number of venues....Alice Tulley sounds different than Carnegie which sounds different than Boston's Symphony Hall.... My violin sounds different in my practice room than in my living room just a few yards away. I dare say, I've never heard my violin the way my listeners hear it....my instrument is under my left ear. Even when I have a another violinist play my instrument as I step back to listen, her/his manipulation of my bow is different than my technique...and therefore sounds different. I have tried just about every brand of string on my instrument...yup, they all sound different, and sound different with the amount of hours you log on them. There is no right... What I try to do is construct my listening to what pleases me...that makes me smile, and be damned the specs.
