After my experiments with interconnecting Scope PCI with XITE I ended up with a blown subwoofer In my unconcious mind I had this false false belief that because noise from my subwoofer does not sound irritating it somehow cannot brake..

So today's teaching: always remember to turn off every single sound producing object, even the subwoofer, when connecting your stuff.

I may have damaged my monitors Yesterday also I am not getting a strange rattle from right

ya, the pulse you get from connecting/disconnecting is pretty bad.

Sorry to hear that. Every now and then, when we become too familiar with something, we tend to mistake. If that makes you feel better, I think all of us has forgotten now and then to turn something off before proceeding. Anyway, all books on pro-audio stuff I have read in my life teach the same basic principle at the beginning, sort of: “when you buy something new for your studio, make sure you turn everything off before connecting anything”.
