Re: need help with the ella

I may be confusing you more because I don't have an instruction manual in front of me. Follow that if in doubt.

"one lead across pins 1 & 8 and the other lead connected to another resistor in the next socket. between pins 1 & 8, a wire to the bias test points. where the 2 leads of the resistors connect, a wire to the psb star ground"

above is all correct.

"i get continuity between the bias test point and ground - whether power switch or star ground."

that is not correct. you should have 10ohms between the test point and ground. ie pins 1 & 8 only connect to ground through that resistor. I'm not sure how, but you must have either pin 1, 8 or the bias rca center pin accidently shorted to ground.

Check resistance between each bias test point and ground with the amp off. Should be 10ohms.
