Impedance between Pre to Amp SE to Balanced
Ok I guess I will drop the SE preamps sadly.. or maybe sell the Ref75se  
Impedance between Pre to Amp SE to Balanced
@atmasphere I appreciate your comment. So if for example I will feed it with a Jensen transformer/ ARC Balance Line 1(BL1) it should be working as good as feeding it with Balanced pre?
