Volume Problem Trouble Shooting Ideas?
@glennewdick 👍👍 I mistakenly thought the OP was running the same setup using the same speakers and had no issues until now.😆 Before hooking the Amp and Preamp up in this current listening area, they worked perfectly and did not have this issue.

There also a relay RL3, looks like it's a 12V DPDT relay with a coil resistance about 900Ω.

Am I reaching the max power / amplitude of my Rotel RB-951 power amp?

Tracking down a hum.
This time the noise doesn't dissipate. The noise pulses. get louder then softer louder then softer. I have no idea what the cause is now. I'm thinking a faulty rectifier. Noise presented on both channel? For a tube preamp, the power supply see...

Quick Luxman R-117 question
they are likely in series with a jumper so you are probably going to see the same issue. The R117 uses 4 SPST 16A rated 24V relays, 2 for speaker A and 2 for speaker B. I think the Omron GR2-1A-E-24V could be used as a replacement.  
Quick Luxman R-117 question
Quick answer: Speaker A & Speaker B outputs are identical as far as specs/load are concerned.😊

Swap the RCA input cables from the left channel to the right channel to see if the problem is upstream.    
Can a tube amp be damaged by a speaker switch?
The Octave Audio amplifier is not a traditional tube amplifier design, it uses protection circuitry to protect its output from low impedance or short circuits, eliminates multi-tap speaker terminals, and behaves more like a solid state amplifier t...
