@dukebdevil There are other advantages too- for example, differential amplifiers are more immune to power supply noise and they will have, in theory, a 6dB better noise figure than the same circuit executed single-ended.
question about Balanced signals.
I just purchased the Audio GD Vacuum HE1 MK3 which has true balanced design. I have an amp, Rotel 1080RB that is also true balanced.
my question is regarding sources? what if they only have SE output to the preamp SE inputs? will I at least get some benefit of balanced signal from the preamp?
@atmasphere Thinking of you :) just read "why balanced?" on your website. I need a pair of ICs since I traded in the integrated amp. would be nice to know that XLR for under $200 would be better than same budget for SE. Actually need two pair of balanced since my PS Audio Dac Jr has balanced outputs. Speakers are Martin Logan ESL-X with a SVS micro sub (system total 6- 8" bass drivers)

@atmasphere sorry was trying to sum it up without going into details (because that is where we tend to make our technical mistakes). In this last post, I should not have said "cable" . As you clearly are aware, it is the whole design that contributes to less noise relative to signal (conversely higher signal to noise ratio). |
@dukebdevil I got that. I was pointing out that in addition to the cables, there's a benefit in the electronics itself if fully differential and balanced. |
