"Balanced Output" Phono Pre-amp??

Also the new EAR (346?) preamp with built in phono has balance inputs/outputs. I did listen to the EAR and the Roland at the Anolog Shop in San Jose. They sound quite different, but both being good. Read the reviews as Carl said. Neither sounded as good as the store's Narga preamp (not balanced) or my own Aesthetix (balanced)at home. The EAR is a good performance value/price point. cheers, Gerrym5

I own a PASS ONO and I like it very much.

Gryphon Oreste is also a balanced Phono Amp. It is very analytical in nature and always give the music a push when called to do so. This is a limited edition and the Denmark manufacturer guarantees only 333 units will be made.

Just noticed an Aesthetix listed on audioweb.com. for $3500. Rare opportunity and my still be available. For those looking for a balanaced phono stage, check it out.
