What does ‘balance preamp’ mean?


Always hear this and wonder what it means.  Is this a big deal?

Seriously. Get the book. Read the book. STUDY the book. The whole book. Unbelievable what you will learn. Introductory is newer than Complete, but there are current updated editions of both so you cannot go wrong.
Given your many posts I believe you would benefit from the purchase of Robert Harley’s book ’The Complete Guide to High End Audio’. Money well spent.
THISSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!^^^^^^^^^^^!!!!!!!!Only don't just buy it- READ IT!
Many if not all components have power supply sections with a large massive transformer usually off to one side. Especially true of preamps because designers like to keep these noisy parts away from the sensitive circuits handling the signal. Not so critical with stock factory feet but many audiophiles add springs or cones. With these its critically important to balance preamp so it doesn’t tip over.
