| Heat heat and more heat?? Al, the reading at the two RCA's is 0.4 ohms, same as at the two xlr's. I took the caution of replacing the battery in the meter today ( even though apparently the old one was ok), which seemed to slightly solidify the readings, so I re-took the r... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? So, after taking the reading as you suggested Al, i read 0.4 ohms on the right channel xlr input and a fluctuating reading on the left channel xlr input. When I took the measurement between the AC safety ground and the xlr, the right channel was a... | |
| Experiences buying used cartridges Here's a question for those who are considering a used cartridge...how do you really know how many hours on that piece? Therefore, how much wear has the diamond incurred...because just a few playings of a worn diamond and your LP's are toast. | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? And you know this how?? | |
| What Did I Do Wrong? Sounds like these tubes are preferred in the pro audio setting, to be utilized in a guitar amp! There the ability to fall into distortion quicker would be a value. The exact opposite of what we want in the audio world.As a guitar player, that's th... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Thanks Al, That's great. I am actually re-thinking your idea about the XLR plug. I can indeed buy one cheap from Parts Connection and it would be easy enough to connect the ground wire to it. One question, is the xlr ground active when I am using ... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Well, I measured the impedance as you suggest, Al. The subwoofer measures appx. 100 ohms...while the amp is all over the place..too weird!Both channels seem to fluctuate..what the heck? | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Hi Al, I will try your suggestion with my multimeter. What is a little odd, is that the amp still sounds pretty good. Last night I played it for about 1 1/2 hours ( without the sub connected) and it seemed fine, except for the heat issue. No hums,... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Hi Jim,I disconnected the sub last night and the amp still runs hot. Sound seems to be ok, but I am now concerned that continuing to run the amp may do some damage.Thanks. | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Thanks guys, I am not comfortable with wiring up XLR connectors. So, my next option is to ask the factory how the heck one is supposed to use this subwoofer with their 'balanced' amp. I have never used the amp in the balanced mode, my preamp is si... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Hi Al, I have looked at the back of the amp, all of the screws are recessed and seem to have a specific job regarding the amp structure. ( I am concerned that loosening any of them could be problematical as to what they are connected to inside the... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Al, thanks for the excellent response. I am hoping that the amp is not damaged by the prior hook-up procedure ( which was approved by my REL dealer!). The main issue is going to be finding a hook-up for the ground wire from the subwoofer to a poin... | |
| Heat heat and more heat?? Al, that is very interesting. I think the amp is balanced,and I do connect the subwoofer (REL) as suggested. I will experiment with removing the sub...hopefully this will solve the heat issue. In order to connect the sub, do you know what is the c... | |

| SF Amati Futura with vintage Jeff Rowland Dokyo, I have used a Rowland model 8 with Sonus Faber Guarneri Homage's for awhile. The Sonus Faber's love the Rowland amp. A great synergy. I think you would be very pleased with the Amati Futura's and a pair of model 6's. The 'classic era' Rowla... |
