just as with this latest fad for balanced line for home hi-fi systems it is a misplaced compromise.
Just because something is needed and works in the pro market doesn't make it the best compromise / solution in the domestic market. Most of it is just marketing hype anyway.
I agree,
balanced line is mainly used in electrically noisy environments, and where long lengths of cables could not be avoided, IMHO there is no need for use of this technology in a conventional HI FI set, unless either or both examples above are relevant, its just added complication.
