What happens when?


I have a CDP that sounds better running Bal and Amps that are S/E. My Pre is a Aesthetix Calypso which I'm told also sounds better Bal. What happens when I run CDP to Pre Bal then Pre to Amp S/E? Am i better off staying all S/E?

Thanks guys!!! I'm really wondering what happens inside the Calypso, what happens when you come in Bal and go out S/E is it in any way stressing the Calypso? Is it just a sound and/or a db issue and not a problem?
Dave my local Aesthetix dealer strongly recommends using the Calypso Bal he believes it is much better sound quality. In my case Quicksilver V-4's with Bal imputs are special order so I may have to wait awhile for a used pair to come up for sale!!! This will be a Karma Check!!!!
Replaced V-4's with ARC VS 115 (Bal & S/E), which is currently breaking in aprox.2 wks before I can A-B S/E and Bal. 2 pairs of Bal I/C's for comparison to S/E are on order. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.
