Expensive? They're less than 5 Euro/piece.

I don't mean the standard XLR but the miniature type.

A DIN connector is about Euro 0.015

And not worth even that. ;-)

Then there is no such thing as a dynamic balance output microphone.

But of course you're wrong - again.

** Dynamic " balanced " mics are simply floating signal sources.

Unbalanced mics have one signal connection in common with the earth or
case/handle of the mic.

There is no other distinction,

Most tone-arm wiring that I've seen uses an thin, unscreened wires, two per
channel twisted together. This would suit balanced operation rather better
than unbalanced.

Exactly the same as many pickup cartridges, then.

case/handle of the mic.

Or ground, even.

There is no other distinction,

Most unbalanced mics are also high impedance - saving the cost of an
output transformer etc.

Isn't it about time you learned some new insults?

It is high impedance mics that have a transfomer

That is a thing abut 1 metre long with 2 RCAs one end and a five pin plug
on the other.

So, are you incapable of unplugging one 5-pin plug and plugging in another
one?
