Very interesting outcome of that test between the two Jensen pieces. Don't expect me to study the Jensen pdf spec sheet to figure it out though.....
Also, forgive my ignorance, but is the Jensen piece something you feed the unbalanced preamp into, to effectively make it "balanced" or does it do something else?
I've heard that balanced is:
--inherently superior to single ended;
--that it's not superior to single ended unless the connections are long enough to warrant using balanced cables;
--that it's sometimes superior and sometimes not, depending on the equipment in an unpredictable manner that requires empiric testing on a case by case basis.
Is there a consensus or majority opinion on this issue?
