PS Audio GCPH and Pass X0.2 not talking?

I am baffled. My VPI Scoutmaster 'table works. My PS Audio GCPH phono preamp works. My Pass X0.2 preamp works. But when I plug the GCPH into the X0.2...nothing. No sound. No signal. (The lights are all on, but no one seems to be home.) I've quadruple checked everything from cables to inputs, but can't figure out why nothing is coming out of the X0.2 from the GCPH.

What I am doing wrong?

Meagan02, I get a feeling that either GCPH settings are not properly chosen for your cartridge or the GCPH is broken.

I would call PS Audio at this point.....

Audphile,

The settings are correct, so I agree that it comes down to a fault with something inside the GCPH.

"Instead, with the gain on the GCPH cranked all the way up, I get barely a whisper. So, this leads me to believe something in the GCPH's output/gain is not working"

This is a very important piece of information I was looking for. The GCPH can be used as a stand alone phono stage or a preamp with volume/gain control (hence the front control knob). You should call PS audio and reports this.
