I plan on using the stero harness for audio...would I need the -5 then?
Chris do you have -5V going to yours? If not do you still get sound?
If you are talking about the stereo harness that comes with the kit, it is only used to connect your board to the speakers directly.
To be honest with you when I set up my hyper 64 cabs, I did it from scratch. Therefore I carefully studied both the pin-out table and the schematics. And since the rev 1 board is very fragile when it is not receiving the right voltages, I played it save by making sure that it gets all the right voltages including the -5V.
Your rev 1 board may work fine without the -5, but I would not be surprised if it burned-up later on. That is the only complaint that I have about the rev 1 boards.
Rev 2 of the board fixes all the problems that rev 1 had, and it does not require -5.
If you are looking for a power supply with -5, just look at the ones the Real Bob Roberts has for sale at his site.
