REL Subwoofers, Class D Amps and Neutrik Cables.

I have a Rel 505 and just purchased a a Peachtree grand integrated amplifier which is a class d amp. Unfortunately the Negative speaker terminals on D amps in which the neutrik cable connects to are not a ground which could cause damage to the amplifier. I contacted Sumiko (Rel) and they confirmed this. It sound the like best solution would be to use a neutrik cable that has "Caps" on the black wire or something. I've seen them selling on Audiogon A few years ago but not lately as Rel's new subs do not have the issue. Does anyone have any knowledge of this or has anyone seen seen this type of cable anywhere lately?

Al, Icepower uses only positive supply voltage and "H" Mosfet bridge for the output. That way at zero output (50% duty cycle) both speaker terminals have half of supply voltage vs. GND.

Hypex usue positive and negative voltage plus only two output Mosfets.
