Changing Turntable to Balanced Output

Personally, I have thought once or twice to have a balanced phono stage, next to have that phono stage connect to balanced headphone amp, and finally to be heard through headphones wired for balanced operation. Nothing else included in this system. Can't say that it would all pan out, but curiosity still exists.

  OTOH, using a TT to feed a balanced phono stage in and of itself seems troublesome, only to feed from there an unbalanced system.

So, the Edison phonograph is not balanced? Heh heh, there is always so much to learn here.

  Differences between a balanced connection and a balanced circuit (not just an electrical adjustment, but in fact a truly balanced design) are important to remember. That can further muddy the waters by not just accepting that an input may not be true to its suggested nature.
