That's no fun though! Gotta work for it bro... that thing took me like three hours haha. Plus it's cool making something complicated using something simple like Microsoft Paint. Here's the thread that gave me the idea (some hilarious stuff in there too):

I hadn't known it was a painting aside from the KC album cover, so I guess we were at opposite ends of the see-saw.

That painting sits in my small would-be album cover folder. I guess it is an album cover. Lol

At meets I listened to balanced set up and talked with different people. I think some of the confusion starts when to really hear balanced the amp has to have two completely different non touching sides. The adversaries note that the method has more parts and some how the signal is not as direct? Truly in the end it is all up to the owner and their own beliefs. I think it's cool that both balanced and single-ended have coexisted here for so long.

I know close to nothing on the subject, but obviously your ordering one, right? Lol


Yeah, the technicalities are a little over my head. My HP amp if balanced  with one unbalanced HP out and one balanced out, but I've thus far only been able to access the unbalanced out with a typical single ended termination. The reviews of my DAC/AMP indicate the sound is improved through the balanced out. So, I've been looking at aftermarket cables-fancy! Maybe go for one of those braided multi color cables. All kinds of crazy color schemes. But, it's going to set me back a couple to three hundred I think. Then, I'd probably want an adapter so I could use the cable with a regular single termination. Crap.

You shouldn't bother unless your DAC is fully differential, so you run a full balanced stack. Aside from that, you have CMR which is an 'advantage' but really
it's all with the topology. A SE design can give up zero advantages to a balanced design.

  These are both album covers already, too, but I'll have to dig around to remember what albums they belong to:
 

 

 
Any idea who made this one? I really like the style:

 
I just did a reverse image search and came up with 153 answers. Lots of links.

  Zdzisław Beksinski apparently. I've seen these paintings by him used on albums, and he did that Kthoniiks Cerviiks cover too (I guess I really do like his style haha)
 


 


and................
 
this one.
