[QUOTE="3.5Max6spd, post: 835078, member: 555373"] The Hu does not provide a balanced signal prior to the BLA, the BLA converts it to balanced. A single ended system(rcas) + a ground =balanced line. BLA basically is a line driver that grounds the HU signal. 8v unbalanced from the HU----> BLA-----> 8v/16v balanced signal ---> to an amp whose gain stage is internally grounded(balanced) to accept and process a balanced signal If the amp is not 'balanced', the effect altogether is called 'pseudo-balanced' From my understanding, speaking with Zap owners they say the Symbilink RCA to DIN(balanced) should be as close to the amplifier as possible if you are working from a single ended(RCA) to Balanced application. An actual symbilink balanced converter should be as close to the source as possible with the lengthy run of the DIN cable to the amp being a non issue being its balanced. BUT in the case of the Eclipse BLA it takes RCA's and spits out RCA's, so lengthy runs in a way is counterproductive. I would think in order to have as CLOSE to a true high voltage balanced system using the BLA you would need to be running Zapco's and a Symbilink right after the BLA. I dunno any other company using balanced systems. In reality a TRUE BALANCED signal is one that is balanced in every componet- from the source outputs to the amplifiers gain/input stage here's a linky I have in my archives...
