Is it save to convert XLR to RCA?
My experience with hooking up ic's to an amp and leaving them open on the other end is a very loud and seemingly dangerous noise through the speakers. I don't think I will try that.... Right Al?

Yes Sam. Chasing a buzz. The preamp need only be in the system and not turned on. Just the ic's hooked up to it.I ran a wire from the chassis of the pre to the chassis of the amp and still a buzz.

Well I once again removed all from the amp except the speakers. Turned the amp on and no buzz. I do get some tube rush from the tweeter in one speaker, but that must be my input tube in that channel. Just a tube hiss, not a buzz through the highs ...

One more thing I really need to add. Paul has a great ear and uses coupling caps in the Dude that are neutral sounding and of high quality. Understand I am a budding DIY guy and have modified amps, speakers etc... I enjoy it and am learning. Paul ...

The Duelund caps are the coupling caps. I also put these in and Pat and I are amazed at the sound. Keep in mind they cost $400 for the set of 2. We purchased the 3.3 uf value. They are first rate caps and very expensive.They replace the small caps... 
Best speaker in the $5-10K range. Details below.

Frustrated with the sound of my system
Rrog is spot on. Come on folks. I tore down all those ugly room treatments that I messed with for 2 years only to find my music came back to life again. Place your speakers properly and use drapes, carpet, common sense, a little reading on proper ... 
Frustrated with the sound of my system
