What is the model of your CJ Pre-amp? Just curious if it has an HT Bypass/Processor Loop input?
If it worked before, it is likely that there was a pair of RCA interconnects running from the L&R front pre-out channels on the Arcam, into some input on the CJ Pre-amp (HT bypass input, Processor Loop Input, or other vacent analog input). When that input was selected on the CJ Pre-Amp, the front L&R channel signal from the Arcam would go into the CJ setup and the sound would come out of the speakers connected to the CJ 2-channel rig.
It can be done, it's just a matter of "how simple is it to operate". A unity gain HT bypass or Processor Loop simplifies things.
No time to add more at the moment. But I'm happy to answer questions later in the weekend. Gotta go for now......
