Hi
If you record a CD with the hot (in phase) signal on the left channel, and the cold (out of phase) signal on the right, then I think the CDP could be used as a balanced source. Must be worth a try!
Hope this helps,
Tim

dhaen,
Oops! I hadn't thought of what you suggested - it is a lot simpler and more elegant than my solution. Would my idea still work though?
Thanks,
Tim.

Of course to make your recording he'd need a balanced source to begin with😉 , or a very good phase splitter.
Yes Tim. And he could use any CD player.

I had in mind using the "invert" function in an audio editing package, like Cool Edit.
Let us know how you get on Bricolo.

no
I was thinking about using a classical portable cd player, and a classical cd
then: on a amp with xlr inputs:
leave ground unconnected
use +in with the cd player's output (left or right)
use -in with the cd player's "ground"
and the same for the other channel

Bricolo,
When you connect the second channel, it will connect the 2 XLR - connections together.
This will mean that the inputs will become "unbalanced".
Actually, this is not such a bad thing over a short distance.🙂

partially unbalanced, since -in are the same, but +in aren't
and you also forgot that the 2 channels are 100% independant on the amp

No, totally unbalanced; assuming the input impedance of the inputs are equal, the - inputs will be at virtual earth, with no current flowing.
IMO This makes no difference🙂
