RE: Rotel RB 1582 Mark 1 Vs Mark 2 Differences

No flame from me, but an All Balanced system from source to amp might have some advantages, espeically in a 'noisy' environment. RF / RFI and such is much better tolerated by such systems.
I suspect but don't know that the balanced provisions of the 'MKII' version are a simple add-on and not a complete redesign to a real, all-balanced internal topology.
Proper matching trumps balanced, of course. However, I DO like balanced connections because they are very robust and positive. Some even say that cable type matters less with balanced, but I don't know that for certain.
