How to measure pre amp for channel imbalance?

I want to check my pre-amp for a channel imbalance. With a voltmeter how would I do this? Would I just put the positive probe inside the rca and negative probe to ground and set the voltmeter to ac voltage and measure?
thanks Mike

Get a 60 Hz test signal.

Measure the voltage from center pin to center pin.

This is the easiest/most conveninent way.  If you measure center to shield, you have to take 2 measurements. :)
