Don't forget the minimum of $200 USD for seven, good quality, balanced interconnects. Naw, I just put some banana plug ends on 4' sections of RG6 for about $20 total while I had the A1400 in house for some experimenting, they worked great.

Banana plugs into XLR jacks? I don't see how that'd work. Doesn't even seem to make sense for the RCA.

The A1400 comes with adapters to enable use of RCA's instead of XLR's.

To be more precise, the A1400 has the circuits for both balanced and unbalanced inputs. To use the balanced (XLR) connectors with RCA, you need to purchase adaters. The adapters coming with the A1400 are terminator adapters between RCA and 1/4" terminators.

My Denon is still not back from the repair shop from my botched A1400-8 experiments, I blew it up real good. Oh do tell... how did you blow up your Denon with an external amp?

I was testing for sonic differences between my 3808 on it's own vs. the 3808 with the A1400. Way back in March when Mel(onn)lent me his A1400, I managed to cross one side of the 2 sets of speaker wires together, one set from the A1400 and one set from the Mains on the Denon. They touched ever so briefly, but that was all it took. I did a bit of a write up on it back in April. I didn't wait for the A1400 to bleed off the capictors before swapping the wiring around, the A1400 takes 10-15 seconds to bleed of the charge after the power button is turned off. In my zest for quickness I had become sloppy, and dropped the left side wires onto it's cousin. It was a sad day.

Bummer. The A1400 is very powerful. If you remember, my first one shorted when a long metal pin (a loose RCA-1/4" adater) touched a line in and a speaker out. Since I saw the blue flames coming out... I am tempted to close the house breaker before I go near it!

Wow, that is quite scary. So I take it you liked what you heard before the explosion if you went out and bought an A-1400 of your own then eh?
