Non-Common Ground Amp connection

Posts: 228
I have the CineNova Grande Amp, I called the factory (Earthquake) today about the common ground interconnection cable issues (connection of my SRS-SDA 2.3tl). This Amp is a Mono Block design and it will not work with the factory interconnect cable for common grounds. I have searched for the "isolated interconnect cable", or how to build one myself and slim results. I called Ken At Polk Audio today and he suggested posting a new thread asking for help.

Hopefully others that have built one will chime in. I think the Stancor is the preferred transformer"Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience.

No, not the Stancor. You want an Avel.

Thanks for clarifying. I had a 50/50 chance of getting it right

I tried to upgrade my SDA interconnect with a new transvestite and it turned into a serious problem. My wife is still angry about it.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers?

I contacted Earthquake, and the individual mono block modules are actually bridged mono block designs. You need to make an A1 to make it happen. Do not tie the grounds together!Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
Thanks

Yep, there are several other threads with missing posts. Probably due to the "reconstruction" Justin did earlier. Apparently he was having issues transferring the most current data over after he did whatever magic he does."Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience.

Just blame it on the moderators, it's easier to do.CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint. -

No blame, just telling him how it happened. Something weighing on your mind. "Appreciation of audio is a completely subjective human experience.
