erik_squires When an amp or preamp has XLR inputs there are three things that may be done:  ... Use op amps in differential configuration ... Very very rare - use discrete circuits to convert That is a bit unclear. There are many differe... 
Infinity IRS Beta Servo Control Unit help
keeppracticing  Any chance you happen to know the user’s name in that Infinity FB group?? No, sorry. I suggest you join the group: "Infinity Speaker Owners Club" and make a post. I’m sure you’ll get the info you need.  
Infinity IRS Beta Servo Control Unit help
That’s quite a score! I think the IRS Beta system is still one of the greatest speaker systems of all time, which is why I’m still using mine after all these years. The answer to your question is: Yes and no. The midrange panels can be safely run...

sns ... Ask yourself why there are so many audiophile network devices out in marketplace. Some will claim snake oil ... What I ask is this: What is the advantage of locating your network components physically close to your audio system? ... 
Bi-amping question - XLR out split
atmasphere For example the input impedance, balanced or single-ended, of our class D amplifier is exactly the same.  Yes, that's not uncommon, particularly when the balanced component is AES compliant, which of course is a feature of your ...

ghdprentice ... There are two approaches. Fix the network or get a better streamer ... I don't see this as an either/or proposition. You can work to create a stable, quiet network - in part by physically locating network components distant...

sns How does putting modem and router close to audio system pollute if wifi disabled? Simple. Modems, routers, switchers are all potential sources of noise. Locating those devices distant from the audio system can reduce or eliminate that nois...

sns ... how do we eliminate, or at least diminish this pollution source? We locate modem and router close to audio system ... How does that diminish the "pollution source?" It only puts these noisy components closer to your audio system.  .....

kijanki He talks about benefits of balanced cables and differential inputs. It has nothing to do with "Fully balanced power amplifier" Actually, it has everything to do with "fully balanced" amplifiers, and @atmasphere  is especially well know... 
Bi-amping question - XLR out split
mulveling ...  some amps spec a much lower input impedance on their XLR inputs versus RCA, in case that becomes a factor. Though rare, you could find use cases where RCA is the better choice, based on that alone. That’s a fair point but it’s a...

kijanki "Fully Balanced Amplifier" means that balanced input section (instrumentation amp or transformer) is followed by two separate amplifiers, each driving one speaker terminal. I understand that intuitively what you wrote seems "true,"... 
Just got a new power amp
kijanki "Fully Balanced Amplifier" term refers to amplifier consisting of balanced input followed by two separate amplifiers - each driving one terminal of the speaker. Of course you are free to define terms for yourself anyway you like. But a...

kijanki I don't see anything in specs showing fully balanced operation.   Look here. Big clue: Input impedance  Unbalanced 50KΩ Balanced 100KΩ After balanced input, there is only one path (one amplifier). So? You seem to not understand h...

It's always puzzled me why so many users cram their modems, routers, switchers, and various digital peripherals close to their system, then jump through multiple hoops to rid themselves of the noise that results. It's much easier to locate that ge...

kijanki PS Audio S300 is not fully balanced ... You might want to check the specs of the amplifier here. They certainly reflect those of a balanced amp.
