How to go from RCA to XLR?
I suppose I'll just have to try it. 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
I have to aquire another amp first. Might take awhile, but thanks for your input.Robt. 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
I know Al, if it were that easy I wouldn't be asking. The amp is 50 years old. I don't suppose they had much balanced audio equipment then. I hope to get more power and noise rejection by doing it in a balanced configuration. 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
This is from the Citation II manual and Jim Mcshane's site.((Connecting Citation Amps In Mono (Bridged) ModeHere's the how-to, right from the original H-K manual:In order to operate the Citation II as a 120 watt monophonic amplifier it is necessar... 
Stereo Subs - Do they need to be identical?
There is much to be said about a simple system but 49 hz just isn't great for rock or classical. A sub crossed over at around 50hz with a steep slope should be very non directional and integrate well in your system. 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
One channel of the amp will be the positive input the other the negative of the XLR. This will bridge the amp but it will be balanced bridged operation. This is what the Pallidiums and MBLs are I believe. It is a pretty common. One of the outputs ... 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
I agree Atmo. I value your opinion and would like to ask what you think of a plan I have. I have a Citaion II that has been almost completely updated. It sounds great but would benefit from more power. I would like to find another and convert them... 
Stereo Subs - Do they need to be identical?
There is a reason subs can be smaller now but you still can't defy the laws of physics. A small sub in a small box requires much more cone excursion than a larger design. For a small sub to equal the output of a large one it takes much more power ... 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
I still think that there will be a loss of power if the Palladium amps are using a bridged balanced scheme which I suspect. From what I've read the Palladiums are based on either the 4004 or 8008 stereo amps depending on vintage. 
Stereo Subs - Do they need to be identical?
I don't think there would be a problem using different subs as long as you are crossing them over low enough but I would go with the same size myself. I don't see any merit to the smaller sub being faster theory. First of all a small sub has to mo... 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
It should be fairly easy to try anyway if he's still here. 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
Sounds like you need a single ended to balanced transformer like the Jensen model. 
Dead Can Dance on SACD
I have both the original 4AD release and the new SACD and it has been very close so far but I haven't really done a critical listening yet. Of course it should be a significant difference but so far it isn't. 
budget lcd or plasma: 720p good enough?
Depends on the size and use. 720p is just as good for 50" and below unless you want to use a computer with it. It's actually slightly better on 720p material. 
How to go from RCA to XLR?
Al the reason they don't offer balanced inputs for stereo is because they are using the two separate channels combined to make the amp balanced. One channel drives the positive and the other the negative. In stereo mode they wouldn't be able to dr...
