Just landed this nice Adcom gfa-5006. My question is I hooked up 2 speakers now I’m a little confused on the input from my preamp to the power amplifier. It has in and out on both channels. How do I correctly hook up my preamp to this? I’m getting no sound but I think I don’t have it connected correctly

I did that but no sound. Do I need any jumpers? Because it says to daisy chain them. Little confusing on the owners manual
 
I think it's as simple as running an RCA cable from the output of your pre-amp into the "Line In" on whatever channels you are using on the amplifier. Have you tried adjusting the "level" knob (switch??? pot???) on the back of the Adcom?
 
Yea I did all that I did check the tape monitor maybe I pushed it by mistake one day but all good. I’m was just curious about the hook up.
 
It’s not too secret I didn’t see you message. The other channels work fine it’s 1&2 that the relay on that board that is not working

So you got it to work using a pair of the other channels? I have a 5 channel Redgum amp that has a faulty channel. No problem since I use it in a 2-channel stereo configuration. I just input from the pre into a couple of the working channels.
 
Yes I actually took the relay of the board opened it up and gave a few shots of Deoxit. Worked it a few times remounted it. Now works great! Must of been a held up relay from not being used for a while.
