Harmonic Balancer?

I wonder if he's using the old westrex trick. More info found by searching for Lynn's "Karna" amp.

It's a really wierd trick, where you unbalance a balanced stage. That is, turn a differential pair into two separate SE stages. Yet inputs and outputs are still coupled with balanced trannys. Theoretically this puts harmonics back in line. Something about cancelling both even and odd harmonics.

I haven't quite figured out why it works. My first impression is that it just seems wrong. Perhaps the beauty of it is counter-intuitive.
