Hi all,
I recently bought myself a pre-owned Rogue Metis preamp. It's really lovely but it has a problem in that I'm only getting signal out of one channel. This preamp has both variable and fixed outputs. The problem channel is the right variable output. The problem remains no matter what input I've selected. I have swapped out the cable and switched the tubes with no improvement.
In addition, I can hear signal being passed to my amps even when the preamp is powered off. Strangely the volume control does raise the signal level (on the one channel that works) even when powered off. Is this normal?
Aside from these two issues the new rig sounds wonderful after warming up a while. I used the right, fixed output and adjusted the volume with my amp's input gain control. After matching the volume on both sides I listened for about 3 solid hours and was transfixed by the great difference between this setup and my previous vintage receiver (Pioneer SX-3800).
