Impact of phase inversion by preamp
@ieales I believe the passive concept you are defending so vehemently has nothing to do with the passive comment from atmasphere. Different application. I'm sure you want to say something relevant I just couldn't understand your last posting if yo... 
Balanced vs RCA between amp/preamp
Reading the initial post again I missed something, the input source is single ended, this is a question for the others answering in this thread as I'm not sure of the answer. When the source is single ended shouldn't be the output single ended as ...
