Quote: Simple question – to run the ACA mini in parallel mono, do I parallel both the positive and negative outputs and run a Y cable into the inputs?
YES
Now, to make it even simplier, if my memory serves me well - seems I did it ages ago - the inputs grounds are already in parallel (though you might not bother if using Y cables) and the output/LS grounds are already in parallel so that saves you 50% of the work on that side. Note that paralleling them didn't change anything and didn't at mine introduce any ground loops, but well, it is not needed as already there at grounds so we did without.
I hope this helps

Ah, a useful picture has been posted exactly same time I posted my long text,- I probably should have waited for a few minutes LOL!
That's what I did, but if I remember well the ground connection at the RCA inputs is not needed as already there on the Mini - just check please to make sure. On 6L6's excellent picture that would be the blue bottom "smiley" cable LOL
All other cables in the pix are mandatory needed
