Re: Cat5 Causing my Rega amp to run hot?

149.99.128.192

It's possible that you have hi frequency oscillations occuring due to the hi cap. of the cable interacting with the feedback loop of the amp. These oscillations can occur with little or no impact to audible freq.
Jon Risch can probably help out with a zoebel network which helps counter the high cap. of the cables. Or try using shorter cat5 cable(50% shorter if possible) or using fewer strands to reduce the cap. of the cable. try 18 strands instead of 27, I used the 18 strand for 5 months before going 27 strand and the difference in sound was much different, tighter bass and with more impact, was the biggest difference.
Hope this helps,
Heath
