Rega HAL + EXON manual?

Hal's are pretty rare, though I think they're a great preamp. I sent you an email regarding info I received from Rega. I sold my Hal and the manual went with it. The buyer was an Agon member so maybe he'll see this and help you by sending you a scan. Below is a URL for their Exon 3 page. If you have the Hal, your is probably the Exon 1. You should contact their service department, they may be able to email the pdf for the Hal and Exon 1.

hmm . . . I'm not familiar with how the Exon amps connect to the Hal. Doesn't the Exon have an XLR input?

I drove a standard unbalanced amp with my Hal by using a standard XLR cable, with a pig-tail that I made to attach to it splitting it into 2 RCA outputs R and L.

Why REGA chose to take perfectly standardized XLR cables and twist them that way, instead of using standard RCA plugs and cables I don't know. Perhaps they saw this as an opportunity to sell their own "proprietary" cables? ;-)

their explanation to me was that XLR connectors offer superior contact vs RCA. If not connecting to mono-blocks it had another advantage of only needing one XLR cable, since the connector on the Hal side has both R and L signals present, assuming this was also the case on the amp side. I suspect they realized they out-finessed themselves on this idea shortly after introducing it, as they never did it again as far as I know . . .

glad to hear you got it solved. I imagine the combination sounds really nice.
