Avalon U5
I recently purchased a used u5 and i am looking for feedback on the best way to maximize it's full potential.As an Eden user,Tim,you might be able to help on this one.Is there anyway to bypass the Eden 550 pre and go straight to the amp section?Right now i do not turn up the Eden pre past 9 o'clock because i do not want to risk damaging it.Also ,if anyone else has the knowledge feel free to school me.Thanks

By-pass?

1. Why would you want to bi-pass the Eden pre-amp? 2. What do you mean by "turning up the Eden pre past 9 o'clock"? I suspect you mean the Gain and/or Master being turned up past 9? You're not going to hurt the 550 unless you take the load below 2 Ohms. 3. Can I assume you want to use the U5 as THE pre-amp and the 550 as the power source? If yes, the answer would be to run 'Out' of the U5 into the 'Effects Return' of the 550, thus, by-passing the 550's pre. Tim B.

Whenever i plug into the gain stage of the Eden coming from the Avalon,i get an incredible low frequency hum if i try to pass 9 o'clock with the Gain.I tried what you said last night(#3) and also got almost the same results,though not as severe as going through the gain stage.Clueless at this point

Are you sure there are no issues with the U5, Eden or cable you are using? Also, double-check your 'Ground Lift' on the 550. Also, I'm still a bit puzzled. Why would you not just want to use the 550 with it's pre-amp and other great features? Another option if you want to use the U5 as your pre: Try going from your U5 'Out' to the 550 'Aux' In.

Did you try going out of the U5 into the 550 Aux In?

Hmmm....
Hmmm, sounds like a bad cable and/or ground issue somewhere in the loop.
How is the 550 on its own? Any noise using it only with your bass?

The 550 by itself is fine.I'll try another cable to see if that makes a difference.I'll let you know how it turns out.

Hey Tim,as it turns out,an unshielded cable was the source of my frustration.Everything works fine now.Thanks for the help.
