I do not believe the Audiopax are balanced.I suspect that is not correct, Simon. It may or may not be balanced in the sense of processing out-of-phase differential signals through its internal signal path, but the fact that the secondaries of its two output transformers are apparently wired in series tells me that the two output terminals are most likely balanced (with neither being at ground potential).
As the spec it's two 15 watt amps wired in series to give 30
so I should be ok.
In any event, as I indicated above, no harm can come from trying it with sub black connected to amp chassis (or to preamp chassis, as Hevac suggested). Just don't connect sub black to amp black unless you are totally certain that amp black does not have a signal on it.
