Here we go. The touch is wired. The same connection as I used with the sb3. I do not believe that it is shielded cat 5 wire. Connecting just one output of the touch still had distortion. Plugging the touch into a different electrical circuit does not alter he distortion. I tried the touch in another receiver and it worked properly. There seems to be an interaction problem at work here. As far as levels, the cd player may even sound a little louder than the touch at full volume. Preamp volume setting equal for both inputs. I cant see how the touch could be overloading the pre. The levels were not that hot with my test song. Even so, playing songs that are much lover in overall level still sound bad. The touch sounds flat compared to the cd. No life. Is there some other signal present at the rca outs that might cause the distortion? I am sure that it is just the left input of the pre that is sensitive. On the other hand using the headphone out even with its lover level sounds much closer to the cd (with matching the preamp levels) and more "interesting" than the sb3. I don't have any real issue using the headphone output with the exception of having to use an rca to mini adaptor. All of this just puzzles me Any more thoughts?
