Need balanced integrated amp for speakers.

I need your opinion for a truly balanced integrated amp (not one that just accepts balanced xlr and converts it, balanced all the way through). Hopefully something < $600 used. Just don't know what's out there that is balanced and sounds great.

Look at Parasound Halo. Although they are separates you can get the preamp for around $400 used and the amp for another $400.

According to the review one of the inputs are real balanced and the rest are single ended.

I did a review on the Cary integrated amp last year and it is true balanced.  I really liked it a lot.  You might be able to find it used on Audiogon.com for that price.

Audio-gd C-500 is fully balanced and sounds amazing to me (older FBI-500 is what I had).
