Hey all,
Got my Aikido Noval preamp with 6N1P/6H30, and wanting to go direct to my NCore NC400 that have only Balanced input...currently have Single Ended RCA from Aikido to the NC400 with the neg pin grounded...all ok..
But wondering is it worthwhile to convert Single Ended to Balanced as far as NC400 performance:
* Add Jensen "Impedance Balancing" circuit - I have the attached Jensen Simplified option for Single Ended to Balanced - just add the two caps - four resistors per channel to existing single ended outputs sounds really interesting... Actually just put a 470 ohm resistor in front of the existing output cap of the Aikido and "copy" the other balanced side and go from there...
* Add Audio Transformer 10k-10k
* Add DRV134 (Ghent RCA - XLR) or SSM2142 (I have both)
* Build a new preamp that has single ended to balance
