Never used a BALUN like that. Maybe they could make a BALBAL.

Is there such a thing??

Balanced to balanced means an RF transformer with separate windings .
Preferably on a toroid ,otherwise on a ferrite bar (ex medium wave rx)


If you take a regular transformer and connect it between a "balanced"
(symmetrical) system and "unbalanced" (asymmetrical) system, is it a
BALUN? Then does it change to an UNUN if both sides are asymmetrical and
a BALBAL if both are symmetrical? What does a BALBAL or UNUN do? What
does a BALUN do?
