I have a couple of questions that might help me decide to build a pair of ncore amplifiers:
1. I recently read a thread about Class II grounding and how it is preferred to NOT ground the chassis with the ncores. I do a little bit of wood working and it wouldn't be too hard for me to create a wooden chassis for the ncore modules and power supplies. Is there any reason to avoid a wooden chassis?
2. I'm currently working out a grounding issue with my home theater system, which I discovered by inserting some Parts Express 6 db attenuators to the RCA cables (which created a hum). Without the attenuators, the system is silent. I am thinking that I can avoid the attenuators if I can increase the level of my main amp by 6 db, which most XLR connections would typically provide. Is there a 6 db increase by using balanced XLR cables versus single ended cables with an adapter with the ncore amps?
Thank you in advance for your valued input.
Kind regards,
Tom
