RE: A Mercedes and a bus...

" I should mention here that this is about amps used for playback because push-pull, "balanced" circuitry is, and for the most part-- should be, used for recording music. .

There are some reasons: balanced is necessary in venues where lead lengths are long enough to pick up too much room-induced noise and hum. Balanced operation of mikes, feeds, etc., benefit from Common-Mode spurious signal rejection.

Does the studio's use of balanced circuits change music? Yes, it does, and that is why the best recording studios are single-ended wired."

Balanced and push pull are not the same thing.

Very few professional vintage studio units that have balanced inputs are balanced all the way through.

Most of the great vintage studio units use input and output transformers so the cabling between units can be balanced for the sake of common mode rejection but the circuitry in between is single ended.

I have never heard of a professional studio wired "single ended".

Please keep your facts straight.
