Will do, Steve.

Thanks very much for the additional confirmation about the ALC.

Running power is still fairly new to me, so I'm continuing to learn here.

Tom,

I agree with Butch on this one; I don't think ALC has anything to do with
the tripping relay.  I'd check your control connections.  I run the same amp
as you do (with no ALC hookup), and I've never seen the relay trip.  I have
heard another clicking sound, which I think is expanding metal, but not the
relay.

Steve

 Why would the relays trip?  I didn't think that amp had that kind of
protection circuit.  I ran my 590 at 100 watts driving my solid state metron
and never had any issues.
