    Here it is, 3m long in Kelsey tour apparently. Neutrik speakon and Nakamichi bananas. I asked for the 4th cable to be connected to ground too but you don't need to use that, or either.

    Hi Lawrence, as it looks physically the same as a regular sub lead, albeit with a fourth cable, can I ask what makes it a De coupled/ digital one?

    Did you read the instructions above from Rel? They say use this type and don't connect the black lead, cut it off if you never want it. I had this made to the spec in those instructions except I said leave the 4th cable connected too, as cutting off one or two (or leaving then disconnected) didn't make any difference to me.

    I'm not sure what the digital cable you mention would look like, unless it's just cutting the black leads off this?

    The one they made me had a bulge in it, what it was I don’t know.
    I connected my original lead exactly the way REL and others advised, but, as I said previously only resulted in a hum, until I put the black wire to earth on the amp chassis, but then I didn’t get any audio output at all.

    I have no idea how yours differs from a standard one, but how much would you want for it?

    I think I paid about £25 for it so say £15 plus postage, hopefully a small packet <2kg.

    I'm not sure it can do anything yours doesn't though. Maybe if you put a pic of yours up I can tell.

    Mine looks just the same as yours, but 3 not 4 cables.

    Just spoke to a mate at Sevenoaks who says he can’t see any reason that I shouldn’t use the 3.5 mm input into the Quake, with the other end, being left and right channel cables, from the amps speaker terminals, or amps terminals.
    Any thoughts on that Lawrence?

    The 3.5mm input is low level so you risk damaging the sub by putting in a high level signal. Also if the two speaker grounds are joined to a single ground at the input then you risk blowing the class D amp. This is about the worst advice I think you could take!!

    Have you tried the advice from Rel about connecting the LFE input (set to zero volume) to an unused output on the pre?

    It’s an integrated amp
    Only a single pair of phono inputs
