Supersymmetry enhances this effect by provid ing a connection between the two halves of the balanced circuit that further perfects the match of common mode artifacts Any distor tion and noise not already identical to the two halves is made more identical by a factor of about 10 The result of this perfected match is improved noise cancellation at the output of the amplifier From a listeners standp...
