Different sound from inputs 1 and 2 on preamp

Does or has anyone observed that there is difference in sound between different imputs on the same preamp. I have discovered that with my Pass X1 my input balanced 1 sound different from my input balanced 2. They both sound good but they sound different.Is this normal and has anyone else noticed differences between their inputs sonically on their preamps.

The Audio Research LS15 sounded different from each input, very noticeable in quick a b change. My current preamps, VAC Renaissance and Classe DR5 do not exhibit this behavior. Pick the input you like best and use it.

It usually happens with Bourbon fans.
My advice is to switch to Jack Daniel's.

Try a different set of ics with your source or at your source move the left ic to the right and vice versa.

Then try your tests again.

I know my pre (AI L-1) has different path configurations based on the inputs used.
