(I'm assuming that another source through the preamp sounds OK)
It sounds like you are overloading the input to the Preamp. The balanced input will have a larger overload margin than the unbalanced ones and so will distort less. First of all, I would open up the TP and set the internal attenuators on the unbalanced TP output to -20dB and try again. This seems odd, though. I can't find the input sensitivity specs for the preamp but modern ones shouldn't suffer from this. The TP isn't overly hot. I would also do a xilinx reset (not sure how to do this on a TP). If the problem remains, call support. -- Phil Leigh You want to see the signal path BEFORE it gets onto a CD/vinyl...it ain't what you'd call minimal...
