All of this through a terrible A to D converter on the video camera and lossy YouTube compression and you’ve nailed it. Some golden ears 😁 We had this argument a while ago, sparked by a reviewer for an audiophile publication doing equipment reviews using a dummy head to record peoples' systems in their room. https://audiophilestyle.com/forums/topic/54420-earspace/ "People hear what they see." - Doris Day The forum would be a much better place if everyone were less convinced of how right they were.

If the nominal signal voltage is the same for both balanced and unbalanced, unbalanced has an advantage of a few dB due to the noise generated by the additional balanced components, as detailed in the Benchmark paper. But as pointed out, the nominal signal voltage is usually higher for balanced. About the only place where unbalanced has a clear advantage is in the input of phono preamps, where the signal level is so low that noise generating devices in the signal path have to be minimised.
