    Integrated Amp and Sub Cable options.

    Best to use the sub out on the node . You can also make adjustments to the sub output in the Bluesound app.

    NAD CD Player disc insert problem

    Usually that kind of problem is caused by a loose/old loading belt . The player takes the disc in but there isn't enough force to lift the mechanism into the right position . Player then can't "see" the disc and opens again . You can test this by opening the player and helping the laser...

    Amp just fried my speaker - OR what just happened?

    Sorry that this happened to you .Unfortunately the older Rotel amps don't have output DC protection ,when they go faulty (and they will) you can say goodbye to your speakers😔 . I would never use an amp that has no output protection especially a very powerful one .

    SUB to AMP connection

    Well Im glad we had this conversation as I realized that I was only thinking of passive interaction and not how the pre amp cct would actually behave if it gets some of the other channels signal on its output (even though you constantly mentioned output impedance ) . This is why for me at least...

    SUB to AMP connection

    OK yes I would imagine that the low output impedance of the pre amp would pretty much eliminate any crosstalk .

    SUB to AMP connection

    Exactly ,we want to minimize crosstalk ,because the 2nd pair of outputs on the pre amp are usually just wired in parrallell with the 1st ones so putting a resistor cable contraption on the output will give some crosstalk.

    SUB to AMP connection

    This can't be done properly with passive components , there are 3 options .1 use one pre out (left or right as most bass is mono )2. Might be possible to modify the sub input (depending on design ).3 Best option .Build a simple mixer pre amp.Making cables with resistors is a waste of time and...

    SUB to AMP connection

    Depending on the design of the pre amp using a splitter cable could link left and right together so your main speakers will now play mono . What pre amp are you using? Otherwise just use one pre out will probably be good enough .
