Default Balanced connections on domestic equipment.


"Dave Plowman (News)"

This poster was talking about an AV preamp where all the power amps are
external. Nothing wrong with balanced of course - it's the pro standard -
but a bit OTT for domestic use.
The thread was about earth loops and he is convinced balanced is the only
way round. Could be in the US all metal cased equipment has to have a
mains safety ground - nothing about their electrics would surprise me. ;-)



**The USA is just like everywhere else - i8e flooded with Asian made audio
gear that is Class 2 or Double Insulated.

So no main earth conductor in the AC cord.

As usual - your anonymous Septic poster is an utter ****wit.
