RE: How to devise a single-ended output from a balanced preamplfier

In a balance connection, pin one doesn't have anything to do with the signal. It is chassis ground for shielding purposes.

In a differential circuit, the center point between the two signal lines is grounded so between ground and either signal line you have identical but out of phase signal.

Those are two different things, related but different. People tend to conflate the two.
