In Reply to: RE: Balanced phono cartridge posted by Lew on September 29, 2015 at 06:53:27
I'm currently using a balanced differential configuration with the new Doshi 3.0 phono, specially designed Transparent Gen. 5 phono (by Josh and Nick) and the Atlas cartridge. (Using the normal RCA jacks on the Classic Direct). Among the advantages over the SE configuration are a much lower noise floor (something the Doshi excels in) as well as better dynamics. It's a big step towards sounding much closer to the sound of 15ips tape.

Best explanation. See post. #3www.audioshark.org/all-things-analog-21/balanced-phono-stages-input-output-7819.html

I tend to think that of my Atma MP1, but saying it on this thread might have led to a sort of controversy that I usually (but not always, I admit) seek to avoid. Further, because the Atma is one preamp, and my other SE phono stages are different from it in many ways other than the balanced configuration, it is impossible to know exactly why the Atma seems quietest and most dynamic.
The Classic Direct tt has RCA outputs? How do you rig them for balanced? If the ground side of the RCA plug is wired as is often typical for SE, where the ground is a shield around a single central "hot" conductor, you could do better to add a second conductor identical to the hot conductor, which could be wired to the ground side of the RCA. Or, replace the RCAs with XLRs. I am sure you know all this, just saying.
