Balanced in phono stages preamp?


Which phono stages have balanced in? And are they better than others?

Hi Herman, not if the voltages are kept the same. That's what the adjustment is for (in this demonstration case).

In our production preamps, the grid resistors are tied to ground and for the sake of simplicity, double as the input loading (however when other cartridge loading is used the single resistor for that purpose is tied directly across the output of the cartridge and has no connection to ground). We could have done a variety of scenarios here but I favor simplicity whenever possible.

Ralph and Herman are speaking Greek as far as I'm concerned.

I do, however, very much enjoy the sound of the phono stage of my Atma-Sphere MP-3!
