here is the unbalanced/balanced to balanced front end.   http://gilmore.chem.northwestern.edu/ubaltobald.pdf   really sweet sounding.  0 db of gain balanced, -6db of gain unbalanced.   gain is controlled by R5,R32 so i could put a relay in that switches the gain to maintain 0db (or any other number) when you switch from unbalanced to balanced.   still even better with the that340 replaced with jfets. mpsw06,mpsw56 replace 2sc2240/2sa970 when we can't get them.
