Re: Diff amp balanced?

> My NFB loop when needed is balanced

I'm not a fan of balanced circuits in general and balanced feedback is even more complex. Haven't tried it.
Theoretical analysis of a differential feedback amplifier shows sensitivity to variations in OPEN-LOOP GAIN in the multiple paths.
Only when that gain goes to infinity can we claim absolute balance and only in ideal zero-delay conditions. This inevitably means high level of NFB, which I try to avoid (based on my sonic evaluations).
I'd love to hear about your balanced solution if it's simpler and achieves a well-balanced drive to the final stage.
