I assume you have a range of reference material for the tests. Does the 5500 give a 1.5dB lift when inserted into the chain, even EQ switched out?

no.

i hated the 5500 compared to my 550s

the input is balanced via opamp (not transformers)

i added switchable in/out trannys (jensen) on my 550s.
i usually leave the transformers in.
