thanks- the amp's manual (Luxman L-550) suggests pin 2 "hot" is US-centric, and the rest of the world does pin 3 hot. so, the latter is the default setting. after a fair amount of switching back and forth, the overall tonal balance is better on the "reverse" (pin 2 hot) setting. but bass is a bit overwhelming right now, so i may need to re-position my speakers. -- 4 TB Drobo-->FW 800-->mac mini-->Ethernet Transporter--> Wireworld Eclipse 6 coax-->Meridian G61 G61--> Nordost Red Dawn-->Primare 30.3 Primare-->Ocos--Vienna Acoustics Beethoven/Maestro ------------------------------------------------------------------------ netchord's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=21002 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=102342 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
