So who brings in the confusion in the first place?

Hi

We were talking about unbalanced twisted pair needs a shield or not in the original post.

Someone came in with balanced signal transfer concept which is a good idea but, IMO, wrongly applied to the short short run signal paths in an audio amp. Who needs those hig guns in an audio amp?

Someone even confused the issue further with differential signals via a transformer without CT while we were on balanced signal transfer which must have a CT.

Kirt may have confused somewhat in the terminology. But he is correct
in the basic prinicple of balanced signal transfer & his idea of LOW impedance situation which aproximates balanced line transfer.

This explains why an unbalanced pair wiithout shield can handle low signal transfer like MC phono cartridge.
