Hello Everyone,
I have an Anthem MRX540 and MCA225 power amplifier, and would like to use the Balanced Inputs of the MCA225 for the +4DB Gain.
I'm aware that the Radial J+4 would be ideal for the purpose at hand, but that particular model is unavailable in India, and if I get it imported from the U.S, it would cost more 2 1/2 times more with Customs Duty and Local Taxes.
The Topping L70 is available for a fraction of that and I was wondering if I could place it between the AVR and Power Amp--- As in, AVR RCA> L70 RCA>L70 XLR OUT> AMP XLR In.
Basically, using the L70 as the slave and controlling volume from the AVR.
Would this type of connection work safely? Or would it be considered as daisy-chaining 2 preamps, causing hum, noise and distortion?
Presently, I have excellent audio with the RCA, but I have this weird fixation of wanting, "Balanced!" --- Silly as it sounds!--
