Re: Noisy Marantz PMD recorders

Dear umashankar and Klas,

I think that the MKH circuit appears to the recorder in the same way
as a traditional transformer-based circuit. So, it does not matter
whether the (single-ended) amplifier output signal is AC-coupled to
the pins 2 and 3 by means of a transformer or two capacitors.

balanced? one transistor is driven by the drain of the fet, and the
other by the source.
