Playing around with it this morning I found an interesting pattern. When I hook it up as REL suggests, with their cable, the popping and hum varies with with what device is turned on or off first.
If I turn the REL on without the Lyngdorf on, I get the hum that can be adjusted with the hi/low and crossover controls on the REL.
No pop when the rel gets turned on alone.
With the REL on, I turn on the Lyng - that creates a pop but eliminates the hum and the sub seems to work.
But when I turn on the Lyng first, and then the REL, no pop and works.
Turning off the Lyngdorf when the REL is on, results in the pop.
But if I turn off the REL first and then the Lyngdorf, no pop.
So - to avoid the hum and pop, I have to turn the Lyngdorf on first, then the REL. And when shutting down, the REL first and then the Lyngdorf.
Not sure what it means.
