CAUTION Parallel connection of the DIRECT OUTPUT Con- nectors (8,9), or the speaker cables between two SR105 Power Amplifiers, or the SR105 Amplifier and any other amplifier, should not be attempted. Bal- ancing paralleled amplifiers is virtually impossible, and the circuitry mismatch cannot be balanced. The same precaution should be observed with regard to the 70V OUTPUT Connectors (11) of two SR105A Amplifiers, or the SR105A Amplifier and any other amplifier. Such a connection may re
