How do I balance This input?

I have a few old tube preamps from the 60's that only have unbalanced (TS) inputs. A few from reel to reels, a few CB radio, A Precision Electronics 4 mic mixer. I want these to accept balanced XLR input... But don't know how this is best done. Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Japmn

I have had many, many, many people ask for card while doing live sound.
No one has ever actually called me because I gave them a card.

I would go Mono.
Most records from the early 60's and even into the 70's were mono.

The URS Fulltec and neve clone are nice and I like the 1970 compressor.
I don't like Ozones GUI. It is like a video game menu. But it sounds good to me.
