| 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... | |
| What would Paul Hales have accomplished today?? Martykl, the Sig 2's did weigh a lot, BUT nothing compared to some of today's monsters. I think Paul believed strongly in cabinet rigidity as part of his design and went to some lengths to assure this...which resulted in 4" thick baffles etc., Som... | |
| What would Paul Hales have accomplished today?? Thanks, Peter. I knew that Paul had gone into the pro audio world...which IMO looks to reproduce music in a slightly different way than the a'phile world. If Paul was still in the home audio/a'phile world, it would be interesting to see what his p... | |
| CAT Signature SL1 MK 3 pros and cons If you roll in NOS tubes into a CAT, I am not sure you can do a lot better for many multiples of that price. | |
| Ref-75-SE delivered ... Taters, price of gear has IMHO NOTHING to do with ability. The higher the price, one thing is probable, the higher the profit. Nothing to do with the higher SQ. This supposed dictum...price rates to quality and SQ, is NOT an absolute in our hobby,... | |
| Is your tube amp really a tube amp? Atmasphere, what do you consider a hybrid tube amp? Since you say a solid state device in the power supply does not mean that the amp is not a true tube amp, what qualifies as a hybrid? |
