'Sounds better this way' was the argument.

Run the positive to the positive pin on balanced, and the ground to the negative pin balanced. just leave the ground pin in the balanced connector unused. Will work perfectly. I use a balanced phono box (Audio Research PH-2) and the output of the cart is connected to the balanced pins as I mentioned.
