bchild311 Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 I can understand what you mean and it does make sense. I guess my evolving question now is, how do I get rid of the hum then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bchild311 Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 bchild311 The Denon only has RCA outs. Using a cable that has RCA at one end and XLR at the other is NOT a balanced connection, so you will NOT get the interference-blocking benefit that a balanced connection can give you. Also, according to your initial description, you describe a passive bi-amplifiation situation where you use the Rotel to power your LF section but you still use your Denon's 2 front channel amps to power your HF section. Correct? Was this your intention? Yes originally it was my intention to bi-amp the speakers with the Denon and Rotel. After further experimentation I went to only wiring the Rotel to the speakers. I think I'm getting better performance that way. I'm very, very, very impressed with how hard the 1080 pushes the RF-7's. I've never seen the cerametallic cones move like that!!

bchild311 Posted November 30, 2005 Author Share Posted November 30, 2005 bc, did you understand my answer to your PM? That might clarify the situation. Michael Michael, was hoping you'd pipe in here soon. For some reason your PM did not come through for me. I show it has been viewed but no reply. I'm interested to hear what you think though.

bchild311 Posted December 8, 2005 Author Share Posted December 8, 2005 K for all you naysayers and haters out there - I got my XLR/RCA cables and hooked them up from the Rotel to the Denon. Made the adjustment on the back of the Rotel and switched to 'balanced'. I turn the power on and ....... a distinguishable difference in humm noise. Actually it wiped out all of about 90-95% of the humm. I think the rest of the humm will go away with a better power cord and maybe plugged into a shielded control strip. Anyway - XLR cables made a huge difference for me. I'm loving the Rotel Klipsch combo. What a sweet amp! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
