I was told that it is truly balanced...however I've read a post here somewhere stating that a Cap user has used both and they had similar gain from single ended as balanced so I can't say I'm sure.
balanced output is wired to European standards so pin #2 is wired as hot. Opposite the American balanced standard where pin #1 is wired as hot. Seems to my ears both balanced and RCA output are the same volume output levels.
Mejames, if I wanted to run balanced from the AA Capitole II to a US made amp you're saying I would have to have the cable custom made so the hot wire would run from pin #2 to pin #1? Am I correct in my assumption?
Mejames: You are totally wrong!!!! Most of European and American products are pin#2 positive. Only Japaness and a few western products are pin#3 positive(like Jeff Rowland).Just go with the balanced, rewireing is not necessary.
