How do I hook up 2 preamps to one amp


I have a NAD preamp that I use for music. I have a Lexicon preamp that I use for Video. The problem is I have 1 five chanel amp that I need to use for both preamps. When I try to use rca splitters/y adapters, my speakers play at a low volume. If I disconnect one preamp, the speakers play louder. What should I do to allow both preamps access to my 5 channel amp and not have humming or low volume.

You could run the Lexicon through the tape loop on the NAD. The tape loop is independent of volume control and should pass through a full signal.
Kartez and Herman, tell me if I'm wrong but...aren't most Lexicon units superior to most NAD's? Why not lose the NAD?
I agree with Herman after all. Why use the NAD at all? If you need it for phono, just sell it and buy an NAD phono. THey are cheap. Go with the Lex only.
