What does ‘balance preamp’ mean?


Always hear this and wonder what it means.  Is this a big deal?

Unbalanced units are always on the verge of tipping over. They also require inordinate amount of aftermarket thingies for them to perform at their best.
" So what is a balanced vs unbalance preamp?"


Purchase and read Chapter 7 - Preamplifiers - of Robert Harley's Introductory Guide to High Performance Audio Systems
Seriously. Get the book. Read the book. STUDY the book. The whole book. Unbelievable what you will learn. Introductory is newer than Complete, but there are current updated editions of both so you cannot go wrong.
