Possible impedance matching issue with subwoofer?
Thanks for the responses, but looking for an answer to my question which seems to have nothing to do with true balanced designs . 
TRL Dude or Joule 150 MKII for Major Pre Upgrade
I will try shorting all 4 xlr inputs. I will try a Blue Jean cable also. Last, I will try direct hook to my cd player. Thanks to all!

Vett93 thanks for your response. Well, when my cd player is totally removed from the system by unplugging both power cord and ic's I still get a hum/buzz though the speakers. The buzz is not present with the amp and speakers only. As soon as any p... 
Carver equipement good??
No, the Signature 600 is certainly in a top tier league. These amps are far better then the other Carver amps you have mentioned.

Vett93 , please help me understand what you did? I am not understanding your fix? Are you saying you simply used a cheater plug on the amp? If so, tried that also.ThanksMitch2, thanks much for the offer. I want to try what Vett93 is saying and I m...

The Dude as an output impedance of around 5k ohms. I am having the same noise problem in my system with an Aesthetix Atlas hybrid amp and my Dude preamp. The Atlas has both xlr and RCA inputs however. I get a buzz with both the Dude and a passive ...

No, someday I would love to listen and perhaps own one of Paul's amps. A little out of my $ league right now. My Atlas is used and I paid about one half of retail.

I would ask Paul if he would build you one like that. Only he can answer that question.

Ya, I love the Dude with the Aesthetix Atlas. Best combo yet for me. I don't need all the power of the Atlas, but boy does it sing with the Dude on my speakers!Tellefsen, the Atlas responds well to tube rolling over stock tubes. You can get more o... 
Frustrated with the sound of my system
Ok Spaz I will bite. I have heard a great system in an untreated room. I have heard a great system in a room treated with very little. I have heard very expensive systems in treated rooms that I hated. I threw out 80% of my room treatments and my ...

Is it save to convert XLR to RCA?
It stays the same if all I do is turn off the amp and then turn back on. I may bring another speaker down to test as the problem only surfaced when a new speaker came into the system. Could it be a speaker issue? I know it is passive, but.....

...or like most of us gets tangled up in the tech talk lingo of the day. 
TRL Dude Dilemna
Direct coupled with transformers is one way to go, but according to the builder of the Dude it has sonic disadvantages - and certainly in his design. Most amps have ample input impedance and only a few can cause some rolling off at the extremes. A... 
Is it save to convert XLR to RCA?
Ok , here is what I found. With the ic's connected to the direct inputs (RCA) on the amp no matter which input I chose on the selector the buzz was there. Did not matter as long as the ic's were connected. When I connected the ic's into the crosso...
