How to go from RCA to XLR?
Al, thanks again for your answer and I see your point. But a stereo amp should also be closely matched as well. I am certainly no expert which is obvious. But an example of such an animal is MBL whom offers some of their most costly designs as eit... 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
Al, if truly balanced is achieved best with mirror imaged circuits, what better way is there than taking a stereo amp and letting one channel drive the positive signal and the other drive the negative? I know this seems like a simplistic approach ... 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
Thanks Al. The reason I suspect the amps are converted from a stereo design is because the tech sort of alludes to the theory. There's many high end mono amps out there that are done the same. I look back at Audio Research's Classic 60 and Classic... 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
Al.But because the amps are mono, they were probably converted from stereo by inverting the left or right channels thus making the amps differentialy balanced and increasing the power by a factor of four. By using only the positve half of the sign... 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
Yes, I suppose any circuitry added will have a sonic signature but the Jensen transformers are the same one's Audio Research and Rowland use to make their products balanced. They claim the sound is better than truly balanced but I don't know. It's...

Sounds like you need a single ended to balanced transformer like the Jensen model. 
Technics SP-10 Mk3 Power Supply / Control Unit
A speed controller for DC is different than for AC. AC can be controlled by varying frequency. DC speed is controlled by voltage. If you cut the voltage in half for a DC motor it will run half as fast. 
Does anybody listen to 'CAMEL' ?

Resurrecting Shure V15VxMR
Interesting. I have a V15VxMR. I didn't like it very much when I first tried it but it apparently broke in and now it is quite good. 
Best Blu-Ray for 7.1 Analog
The PS3 doesn't have 7.1 outs Buconero.

Rajaz is HDCD as well as great. 
Technics SP-10 Mk3 Power Supply / Control Unit
The MKIII power supply is vastly different from the MKII, as is the MKIII itself. I feel certain it would never work. How much are they asking? 
How to check polarity?
Reversing the polarity of a polarized plug can be dangerous. 
McIntosg 7270 VS Meridian 557 vs D-125 AR
I think the ARC amp will have great difficulty driving the Extremas. 
How to check polarity?
Are you talking about 120volts? If so get a plug in electrical tester and check the recepticle. If it wired correctly a polarized plug will have the correct polarity. If the plug is not polarized it doesn't matter.
