Yes the common mode rejection . Bryston describe this in thier FAQs http://bryston.com/pages/faq.html Basically there must be a summation point in each component the to make common mode rejection happen . There was a fad for a while ( Krell and other usual suspect ) to take the balanced concept to far just because the audiophiles got whiff off it and misunderstood the purpose , to reject noise in long cables between components . In your home with very short components and almost noise free environment , try a studio ( or process industry where I work ) for real noise levels.... -------------------------------------------------------------------- Main hifi: Touch + CIA PS +MeridianG68J MeridianHD621 MeridianG98DH 2 x MeridianDSP5200 MeridianDSP5200HC 2 xMeridianDSP3100 +Rel Stadium 3 sub.
