|   "Single ended": what does it mean? | Feanor
Oct 21, 2003 10:37 AM | | I hear the term a lot with respect to amplifiers, (including the output stages of, <i>e.g.</i> CD players). Apparently it can apply to both tube and solid state equipment.
How does it work; (not too much technical detail, please!)? Can it coexist with both Class A and Class AB? Can it coexist with OTL -- which I gather means "output transformerless".
What are the supposed advantages? |

Why people deem tubes SE or Push Pull to sound better than transisters. http://www.audioasylum.com/scripts/d.pl?audio/faq/tubeprimer.html

| Thanks a lot, RGA. Got any references for "balanced"? | Feanor
Oct 22, 2003 9:05 AM | | I gather it applies to balanced inputs and output connectors, (those three pronged things with separate grounds).
Also, it seems to apply to internal circuitry, as in the case of Classé preamps, "fully-balanced circuitry from input to output". I'm not sure what this implies. |

Oct 22, 2003 6:47 PM | | Yeah. I'm not up to speed on that either. I have them on my Cambridge Audio CD 6 cd player...it was maybe the cheapest cd player that had this option back then. You could try a Google search on that. |
