If you still want a balun, buy a one to one balun for the dipole

That makes an RF choke, not a balun. There is no real advantage
for a balun on an antenna just for receiving.


It does make a balun- technically a current mode balun.
And for receiving a balun can make a BIG difference as it prevents the outer
shield of the feedline from picking up noise. As most feeds are vertical and
manmade noise at HF is primarily vertically polarized- the pick up can be
great.
