Thank you both for your comments...I'm still puzzled though. I don't think the EA-8 was clipping, though, as the distortion wasn't in louder passages only....BUT, if it was, why don't I hear it when the repro is routed through my preamp? I always thought shortening the path of your signal would improve sonics...you know, the "minimum path rule".
I am currently using the XLR outputs of the repro, they go through these "American Recorder" XLR-to-RCA adaptors, then go through Atlas interconnects. Perhaps my preamp is masking the problem when I use it?
The preamp is currently sounding great, I have had the RCAs at the back all replaced, new caps, and a new selector & gain pots.
But thanks again for the comments...Steve, would you be OK I sent you a PM about this?
In any event...thanks!
