Have you actually measured the amount of noise in your system to determine the nature of your problem?
What problem? I never view sonic improvements in my system as eleviating a problem, but merely, as a gradual process of improvement taking place over time.
Maybe that "blackness" can be achieved by much less drastic means than balanced ciruits.
Obviously, you don't know me very well.
I've had dozens of amps, preamps and sources and this system as it exists is the one which sounds best to me, due primarily to its' total lack of background noise and its' neutrality. They allow me to alter my sources to get the sound I prefer.
It's far better to avoid noise in a system by good gain structure, good cable routing, and power line filtering when needed...
Those are givens/basics, not solutions, IMO. You also need to include room conditioning/treatments as well.
than to use balanced audio circuits as a band-aid.
Not a band aid by any means to me. They are but one piece to a sonic puzzle which I prefer. YMMV.
