balanced question

audionut · 22nd July 2003, 09:23 PM

I have built a number of Aleph 3 amps. More recently I built a BOSOZ preamp...The Aleph 3's do not have a balanced input...do you guys think it would be worthwhile to make the inputs of the 3's balanced (using the volksamp scheme for the Aleph 30) to utilize the balanced output of the BOSOZ. The DAC feeding the BOSOZ is single ended.

Thanks in advance for your advice

Just rip off the balanced input circuit from the Aleph 2, 5, or 30.
They all will work fine.

IMO they are super chips. Have used lots. They're almost as good as valves

I asked a few weeks ago about those chips and got a snide remark I have some sitting in front of me

any time some one says something negative towards me i just ecnor it. ; O) i try lots of things. i ordered samples i want to try them out and see how they sound.. i also have to start my active x-over's soon. im going to find a webpage that deals with crisp clean psu's for 15 0 15 i need to make clean ripple free Power-supplies. a little thing my dad told me most of the theory is in the psu..

The ps wont be a problem...the reason I got the samples was to see if I could run longer twisted pair and still have a quiet "noise floor".....I`m trying to make a cheaper alternative for some projects at hand.....I have been using op amps in the past and these chips seem to be a more viable alternative

you will still need a twisted pair + ground from the driver to receiver.>???...I dont understand your question
