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?

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.

I took the GCPH to a friend's house today and connected it to his system: Problem duplicated. Still no clue what's causing the failure in the unit, but at least I narrowed things down to one source. The unit goes back to PS Audio for inspection tomorrow.

The folks at PS Audio and Pass have been great about communicating with me and trying to solve the problem. Many thanks to Barrows and Kent--and all you great Audiogoners!
