How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp


I have a NAD preamp that I use for music. I have a Lexicon preamp that I use for Video. The problem is I have 1 five chanel amp that I need to use for both preamps. When I try to use rca splitters/y adapters, my speakers play at a low volume. If I disconnect one preamp, the speakers play louder. What should I do to allow both preamps access to my 5 channel amp and not have humming or low volume.

I have a Luxman CL38U SE and a Krell Showcase processor for movies. On my Bryston amp I hook up the RCA outputs to the Luxman and the Balanced outputs to the Krell. I just flip the switch on the amp. I've had tube preamps for years and this saves tube life on the preamp as HT pass through requires having both preamps on.
