Obviously, there are good ones and bad ones ...
Also I have a very good single ended amp, a Yamamoto HA-02, and I am considering balanced, as an option.
Obviously, at least to myself, whatever you buy, "You only get what you pay for, nothing more, nor less"
Obviously there are people who have had the opportunity to listen to more than a few balanced amps, and just as obviously they have opinions and preferences. It is these that I am interested in.
Many thanks,

I've heard outstanding single ended, transformer balanced, and internally balanced amps. Eddie Current, Pete Millett, HeadRoom, HeadAmp, and various DIYers have all made balanced output amps that were outstanding in my experience. None of them were what I'd call budget amps. Similar statements can be made about single ended amps. |
