I’m wondering why the Stellar Phono has not a balanced XLR input, mainly for MC cartridges. I know how @Paul likes it in a system.
Maybe @DarrenMyers can answer this question. In effect I do not know the real benefits that a TT-Phono Preamp connection would have from a balanced cable and I will be happy to better understand. Many TT have not a balanced output or they need mods to apply them.
And another question is: what do you think about balanced phono cables terminated with RCA? If I understand well they ground directly with the RCA connector metal part. I have a Gold Note Mediterraneo turntable on the way and they offer a phono balanced cable terminated DIN/RCA (2k euro), is it a good choice for the Stellar Phono Preamp?
Sorry for my ignorance if this is a banal question, I love this forum also for learning more about our gears.
