Really - I hooked up a Burmester pre with balanced phono inputs back in 1985.
I'd be interested in knowing more about that. To my understanding Burmester introduced their preamp later.
Phono stage options - balanced with XLR both input and output...
I really like my Elac PPA-2, it's surprisingly good and has bested the few others I've tried. I use XLR/balanced for input and output (for the first time with this one).
It is starting to glitch, and I am considering purchasing another one ('preowned'), but before I do wanted to check here what options you know of in terms of fully balanced phono stages with XLR input and output.

@dover Curious. The images I can find don't appear to have a balanced input (only RCA connections), but do have a balanced output. Why do you say it had balanced inputs? |
The balanced phono inputs were an option. They replaced the RCA's ie - no single ended input with this configuration. Still had the extra 2 RCA's for resistive and capacitive loading though. Designed for use with the 846 line stage. From memory they used mini cannon connectors on the input.
Because every time my mate upgraded his arm we had to re-wire the tonearm cable to balanced configuration. Its documented in the manual. Its referred to in an article here - STEREO MAGAZINE Issue 01
