Truly balanced has double the circuitry. IF you have a truly balanced amp, then the pre-amp is a match. If you don't have a balanced amp, don't bother........
Adcom's GFP 750 pre-amp is truly balanced. Their amps are not. Although the 5802 has balanced inputs, they are just converted to non-balanced in the amp...........
