AA Capitole users: how many run balanced xlr ?


Details on the AA Capitole design are hard to find. Is it a fully balanced design? Thanks!

Does anyone know if the AA Capitole is fully balanced? I'm trying to decide whether I should go balanced or single-ended from the CD Player to the amp.

Thanks!

Dvavc, I don't use a preamp... currently I'm running the CD Player directly to my Atma-Sphere amps via single-ended Kimber PBJ. I am trying to decide if it makes sense to go with balanced. The Atma-Spheres are fully balanced, but, unless the CD Player is fully balanced, the benefits are not so significant. In this case I could go either single-ended or balanced, opening up a wider range of IC's in my price range.
Thanks guys! I think I will be running slightly longer length IC's so balanced is preferrable no matter. Actually surprised how good the cheap (and temporary) Kimber PBJ actually sounds in my setup.
