AB  - The theoretical benefits of balanced audio interconnection schemes are discussed as well as fundamental but widely unrecognized mechanisms that limit real-world performance. The venerable audio transformer enjoys several inherent advantages over the so-called active circuits offered to replace it in audio equipment. Today, as improved digital recording systems demand increased system dynamic range, these advantages are becoming ever more important.
