Good circuit for single end in to balance out?

[niner]

As the title said, I'm lookng for a suitable preamp circuit that does a good job or taking single end in and output balance signal. I know some design works better than the other.

I have searched, but I'm not getting good hit.

Thanks!

The bride of son of Zen or The Pumpkin if you want the cream of the crop.

Thanks Magura.

Pumpkin! Nice design, I want to build one anyway. How about UGS? does it work well in SE in, BAL out?

[Manu]

Yes, UGS also works very well in SE in, BAL out?

Burr Brown:

DRV134PA

Be aware, that these devices do require aditional ops to drive the line.

Use a modified Bride of Son of zen -- cascoded, with a single current source.

Somewhere in the database, it was opined that "Metalman's circuit" was the way to go. I used it and it works excellent.

The schematic was in one of the Bride of Zen or Bosoz or BZLS threads.

Or use a pumpkin, I don't have direct experience with the pumpkin, but I am sure it would work great.
