Following up on that post (on my 'Vintage Silicon' thread) I've started to cast around for possible circuits. So far there doesn't seem to be much turning up but for starters, here's what I've found so far.Ray P wrote: ↑Fri Jul 10, 2020 9:46 pm...most of my source components are equipped with balanced outputs (or could be very easily)... ...the amps I have working (or in progress) all have single ended inputs...
...I have a balanced passive attenuator so what I believe I actually need is a buffer stage that'll take the outputs from the balanced attenuator and convert them to single-ended to drive my single-ended amplifiers.
The Broskie BCF (which I've used before on the output of a DAC and been impressed with) is probably the most obvious candidate;
I also turned up this lampizator sketch from an article about using it on the output of a voltage out DAC (TPA Buffalo3)
I know I could use a 'hybrid' interconnects to make the connections, or I could wire the outputs of the source devices to be singled-ended, but I like the 'heft' that using a buffer mparts to the mix and as I already have balanced attenuators I may as well take the advantages that balanced connections offer where I can.
Any advice/comments/suggestions?
