OK, so I had 2 problems, really.
The first: with the original Candela circuit, I had to have my Rotel pre-pro and then my new Marantz reciver completely turned off...otherwise I'd get a near muted signal due to latent processing of the receiver. This wasn't a big deal when I had my Rotel, because I could push a button and it would shut all the way down...but my new Marantz only goes to stand-by, so I had to send the Candela in for the update. If I could have shut down the Marantz the same as the Rotel I probably would have kept the Candela as-is (was) because I liked being able to use my HT with the Candela off. It's my understanding that this issue was identified by Odyssey after the first 2 production runs so they adjusted the circuit appropriately.
The second: Once I got my updated Candela back I had a ground loop issue (my fault) when connecting my sub. I have 2 sets of outs on the Candela and run the 2nd to the sub. I also tried to run the LFE out from my Marantz to the sub and connect with y connectors. This created a loop which fed back to the Candela and caused the issue. Simple fix was to run both of the sub connections to a cheap Radioshack 2 way switch and from the switch to the subs single input. This way I can enjoy the full LFE signal from my HT and also integrate the sub during pure 2ch listening through the Candela.
Not sure if this was clear or not. Hope this helps.
Cheers, Bob
