There's nothing wrong with it, it's just totally unnecessary for line level signals over short cable runs in domestic environments. Balanced cabling doesn't sound any better, it just has better EMI rejection.
- isostatic 9y agoSure, and you never get EMI sources in a domestic environment, say mobile phones. If you're building a system from scratch, you may as well use balanced audio, the driver costs under a fiver.
