Thanks, Ceejay, yes, I couldn't remember which one it was in without digging up the box (which is currently at the very bottom of the "just digitised" pile somewhere in the deepest innermost recesses of my den) or else firing up, and taking an eternity to search through on, the Squeezebox, of
Crucial phrase is to those in the trade! The information is
extremely easy to find - just common knowledge, in fact - to those
who still are, but I'm not sure that it is easy at all for those who
are not. Perhaps it's not so surprising that audiophiles in the
latter group seem to know so

I have to agree with this, at least on my own account, the more so since I once (a long time ago) did know, at least, what was state of the art in broadcasting studios in the UK. Then, though I was involved in the business. I don't now find the information is that easy to acquire. Neither record

Neither record companies nor broadcasters exactly encourage the public
to mooch into a studio and play around. Any suggestions, Pat?

Great. I ordered mine when the announcement came out, so I'm hoping to
see my pair of black Tranporters within the next week or so. The SB3
has been great, by my systems

From my experience, put one dimmer in a room and try to use unbalanced
RCA cables of any length, and the amp will pick up the buzz from the
dimmer.
If you do this in your own living room, you can chose the dimmer or fix
a noisy one.
When I DJ, I can't rewire the room. I have to be resistant to

I think the general rule of thumb that most audiophiles make is that the
input impedance of an amplifier should be at least 100x the output
impedance of the preamp/source that preceeds it. For many amps, 1kohm
output impedance of the Transporter should be fine, but there are many
amps out there
I'd have thought what mattered is the low pass filter break point formed
by the output stage/input stage [resistive] impedance and the cables
[capcitance] impedance (plus any input capacitance of the power amp).
Even if the output stage impedance = input stage impedance as long as
the LPF break

The point of balanced is to be immune to noise, or at least noise that

Many audiophiles like monoblock amps

Although the op amps could easily drive, say 100R, by using a 1K output
