Brought home a used Mccormack DNA-1 to demo. Since the Shrimp has not yet arrived, I hooked it up to the pre outs of an old Marantz 2270 I have laying around. I was quite surprised at the sound. I suppose the next question down the road (and I mea...

I have the Tyler Acoustics Super Towers. Sensitivity is 92db with an 8 ohm impedance not dropping below 6.5 ohms. Easy speaker to drive.

A question I need to ask. Is there a certain order to follow when turning on a tube pre and ss amp. Thought I read that if you didn't follow the correct order, you get a pop through the speakers. Thanks.

Thanks for your response. 
Jeff Rowland Concerto or Simaudio i7 integrated?
I have the Concerto with the Super Towers and it is a great match. I once read that Ty used Rowland gear to voice his speakers, not sure if true or not but read it somewhere. I have been doing this since 1972 and this is one of the best combinatio...

Tyler Acoustics Super Towers

Has anyone heard the Jeff Rowland Concerto Int
I own the Concerto and think it to be one of the finest integrated amps you can buy. At this price level there is no best, it comes down to personal taste, price, availibility, etc. I went from the Concentra 1 to the Concerto. IMO the Concerto is ... 
Jeff Rowland with Rel sub
I connected according to the directions in the owner's manual: FIG 2 unbalanced high level input at the sub. To the amp: red to right positive, black to right negative and yellow to left positive. Todster, I tried your suggestion and got nothing. 
Jeff Rowland with Rel sub
I got noise(pop) and hum, but nothing fried. I am hooking to the speaker terminals as per instructions in the owners manual. 
Jeff Rowland with Rel sub
What I was told, but do not understand, is that the Rels were not designed to connect to a differentially balanced switching amp which I guess is a digital switching amp.?. It hooked up fine to my Concentra, but not the Concerto. It cannot be conn...
