er two times worse than SB3 - and still works with EC. It seems I will have time to test shorting plugs soonest tomorrow. If it doesn't work, it's maybe a good idea to contact Electrocompaniet, maybe they know the answer, or at least what the amp is checking for. As for safety, I know

well (have to make some shorting plugs first), but as far as I understand, there's really no difference comparing to using XLR's, if XLR's unused pins are grounded in the connector properly. So I don't expect that it will make any difference. -- azaz44 -

[SlimDevices: Audiophiles] SB3 + Power amp problem

2010-09-01 Thread azaz44
ime I start EC, there's no signal coming (SB3 is paused or powered off with the remote). So the question is, why the combo SB3 + EC doesn't run? It's really incredible to me. Could this be some grounding problem in SB3, which the EC detects, or what else? I'm also interested i
