Thanks roadrash. Last night I when through the Lafayette and thought about using it. It is a tube pre but like the mac no trigger port. I was looking for a L-07C but unless something fits my budget, it is going to be a stretch. I found a KC-209 but couldn't do it. It would be my first pre with a remote but it looked like BPC.IMO if you want to get the most out of those L-07Ms you're going to want an L-07C or L-07Cll to pair with them.
FWIW my L-09Ms aren't tied together, and I have had zero issues. I cant locate my amps close to the speakers so I'm using 8ft Kimber Kable 8TC speaker cables and have noticed no ill effects from those either.
After looking more closely at your pics, what's missing next to the IEC is the remains of the original power cord. The IECs are not original to your amps.
I don't have the trigger cables for my amps so I just turn them off and on with the toggle switches.
Here is a pic of the back. If you look close, I'm missing a ground and a couple screws holding in the trigger inputs. I'll take a look inside to see if anything is affected. Also something is missing next to the IEC connector in the right amp. I knew about the IEC and the speaker binding posts but didn't know about the ground binding posts.

The owners manual says to tie each amp together via the ground post. I picked up a ground binding post from the lab but don't know how critical the grounds are. I'll at least add the ground binding post before I fire them up.
Thanks Sam. I think that amp took a hit on the back. I had to realign a few things when i installed the ground binding post. I'll look at the RCA jack closer tonight.I spy a broken RCA jack in the right amp.

Good catch!I spy a broken RCA jack in the right amp.
