I have a question. My Bryston 2.5 SST2 has balanced connections and years ago I owned Rotel amps and preamps w/balanced connections but they weren't differential balanced. In fact you can find a number of amps and preamps that don't have the differential circuit. What is the benefit of a balanced connection in these units??
Differential Balanced Sound Quality
I've read where running a true balanced (differential) amplifier as such sounds much better than running it single ended (I'm assuming the same amp has both balanced and single ended inputs here).
Why would that be the case? Is it merely the improved SN ratio, etc. from being balanced, or is it something circuit related with running each channel's plus and minus through separate amplification stages?
