So I avoid all the bothers of balanced inputs.

Balanced makes sense only when you have long signal runs from
microphones, or for telephones.

For short runs in a domestic loungeroom, and at line levels, there is NO
need for balanced
and its complexity, ever.

Perhaps one might use it between a TT cart and a phono amp. But only if
ya hafta.

And ya shouldn't ever hafta, in your loungeroom.

Other than the person who asked me to design this amp for him required
it to have balanced inputs.
