The better S/N rating for ballanced connections is significant and result in a noticably quieter system in a really good system. The difference from a 90 to 96 dB S/N is significant and can be heard during quiet passages or an ear test.
Using both balanced and single ended outputs at the same time?
I have a Classe 30 line stage preamp and a 70 amp. I am currently using the RCA outputs with a splitter to allow me to run stereo subs also. I would like to use both outputs from the preamp using balance cables to the amp and RCAs to the subs.
Is this possible? Thanks.
