Should I switch to a preamp with balanced outputs
I have a CJ pre and a amp that takes both RCA and XLR. One of the amps had the RCA go out. I was told to get a switching controller. Went to Ebay and found a used Henry Engineering Matchbox HD for under a $100 that allowed a interface from CJ RCA ... 
PS Audio GCPH Phono Preamp
I like the ability to adjust the output so I have no idea what Lwin means when he says output is on the low side. Using it with a Ortofon 40 mm so maybe a MC is not as compatable and that is what Lwin is using. Very satisfied with the PS audio GCPH. 
Parasound P 5 preamp How do you like it?
The Mc2120 is a back up to the shengya monoblocks. I would purchase a second mono block to replace the one that is locked up in safe mode. Actually I wish I could find a schematic for a Sp911 and simply fix the one I got. 
Parasound P 5 preamp How do you like it?

1 preamp out to a 2nd preamp in any harm?
There are a couple of unique problems with the current set up. The Sub has a rythmic plate amp that produces a hum in the system when connected via RCA, the hum disappears when connected via speaker inputs. The mono signal will be generated via y ... 
1 preamp out to a 2nd preamp in any harm?
I want to run a mono signal through the one preamp to a solid state 300 watt monoblock and then to the sub and from there to all the woofers in my other speakers. With the other preamp I will send the signal through a tube amp to the mids and twee... 
Repair of a Sheng ya sp-991
I contacted Grant audio and they were of no help. Email to Sheng ya provided no response. It is a shame that there are no service centers that are set up to handle an amplifier that is sold world wide under several names.
