RE: Balanced/Unbalanced Simultaneously - One thing I should have mentioned

Balanced outputs are often 6-dB louder than unbalanced outputs. The reason is that each leg of the balanced output is the same level as the unbalanced output but 180-degrees out of phase with each other. The difference between the two legs is therefore 6-dB louder than either of the individual legs to ground.

I know what you mean by the lack of noise in a fully balanced system. I've noticed the same thing in my system.
