REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
I have been corresponding with Justin Magana who is REL’s Chief Engineer. Based on his advice I twisted the red and yellow wires together and connected my REL via the high-level input. The black wire is floated. It worked! I have plenty of output ... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
I should have mentioned at the beginning the most frustrating thing about this situation is my dealer is a REL and Rowland dealer. He has the ability to connect the REL to the exact amp and preamp that I have, but he won't. When I told him about m... 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
I just received a call from REL. They said I could ground the sub/amp by going from the REL's LFE to my Rowland Corus preamp while leaving the black lead floating.

Al,Do you think grounding the black wire to the chassis of my 625 S2 will result with proper output of the subwoofer?

Thanks, I will send them a email. 
REL subs with Rowland Amplifiers
Although I'm frustrated with the inability to at least try the high-level input, I ordered a second REL Carbon limited that I should have on Monday. The addition of a single REL has increased my enjoyment of my 2-channel system; so I figure dual s...

I'm just so surprised that the compatibility problem between REL and Jeff Rowland amplifiers and other balanced differential amplifiers isn't well documented.lalitk,Thanks so much for your assistance.daveyf," Not sure I would want to loosen a scr...

Al,As always thanks so much for your response. Your post highlights my concern. If I don't ground it properly I will damage my amplifier and/or sub. Like I've already stated, is does work via the low level input, but I'm wondering if it will sound...

My 625 S2 is Class AB. I already talked to REL and they didn't help. 
Keep SVS SB16 or change to REL S5 music only
After owning several SVS subs I think they're great for HT,  but not for 2-channel. I owned the SB13 Ultra and SB 16. I changed back to a JL Audio  F112 v2 and to my ears it has better, more articulate and defined bass. I recently switched to a RE... 
Torus RM20 / BIT20 vs Furman IT reference 20i
I have the Torus RM20 and love it. But and it's a BIG but, I haven't compared it to Audioquest or Shunyata power conditioners.  
Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane
I should have added that I tried High Fidelity powercords in my system and they didn't sound anything like what’s described in the Audio Bacon review. I had them for over a month and finally returned them. Again, cables must be auditioned in your ... 
Audioquest Dragon Powercord vs Hurricane
I read the audiobacon powercord reviews and to a certain extent I agree with his opinions about the Hurricane... tonally dense, liquid, heavy, sweet, analog. I can even agree that compared to some powercords it lacks ultimate detail. In my system ... 
Torus RM-15 or Bryston Bit-15 owners. Do you plug in your amp to them?
I have a Torus RM20 and plug my amplifier into it. I prefer the sound of my Jeff Rowland 625 S2 amplifier plugged into the RM20.
