Isn't every electrical signal "balanced" in the respect that they generate or modulate a voltage based on the received signal. One electron goes out, one comes in. The only difference that I see is that XLR and TRS have two wires for signal and one for a separate ground. RCA just uses the ground wire for both DC ground and one leg of the signal. Is there any way to get a signal without a coil of wire in it? I guess condensor mics have an active circuit, but still, there are electrons floating to and fro. -- Pat Farrell http://www.pfarrell.com/ _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
