I think so. I have a similar setup (Yggdrasil ---> TU-8800) and using a BA to SE transformer pretty much solved the noise I was getting with my pre-amp. I'm using a 1:1 Jensen trans but I think there was mention here of using a cinemag with good results.
To hijack this question a bit... could you use a TVC to do balanced-to-SE conversion, instead of a dedicated fixed-ratio balanced-to-SE converter? Tempted to get a Silk TVC, and this would add another reason to get one.
