I've got one, not that I use it anymore. It seems to be the only balun
with low frequency specs. I did MW reception with it, but I never
compared it to the ham baluns.

- Get a Wellbrook.

FWIW - The Wellbrook "Universal Magnetic Balun" [ UMB ]
is a Receiving Antenna Balun with a 9:1 impedance ratio.

Note - Universal Magnetic Balun [UMB] is specifically designed
to Reduce Noise, especially mains borne, by isolating the feeder
winding of the Balun [Matching Transformer} from the Antenna.

How does it distinguish between noise and station signals?

Pretty smart balun.

Much of the noise you encounter is generated in your own house. Any
balun allows you to run coax near these noise generators, which is
better than just running the bare wire antenna by them.
