You may want to try an AudioPrism:WaveGuide if you can barrow one. I have it on all my component power cords. It removes the grain & lowers the noise floor without removing any life. By that I refer to that overly processed dull sound of cheap overdamped passive preamps. Just don't try & save money buy putting one on the power conditioner power cord instead, or put more than one power cord through the hole between these magnetic halfs. I've found that the sound deteriorates in other aspects as a little stealing from Peter to pay Paul takes place.
Nice TT, I'd see if you can get some Siltech interconnects for that link. I think they're the nutz for low-level signals. I bought some used 1.5m SQ-38 or somthing like that & found they were ideally suited to go from my bro's TT to his X-PSU powered X-LP. Although, I wonder if a Mullard tube upgrade on an X-10D would be ever better to warmly boost the signal or as an X-LP output stage like a good DAC. However, I read somewhere (I think it was at AR) that a EE had to meld a X-24K with a X-10D in order to get the right sound. Simply placing one behind the other was insufficient. Anyway, I wonder if just bypassing the jacks & soldering in an interconnect would suffice. I know my brother stripped a section of the siltech & soldered the interconnect internal wires to the tonearm headshell leads. So, it went from there directly to the X-LP uninterupted. If I mapped the unit on a schematic maybe I could bypass some buffer stages to remove extra stages
However, in your case, I'd buy a few X10-Ds & hardwire sets between the Lexicon & Parasound. And by hardwire, I mean to split the RedDawn interconnects bypass the MF steel jacks altogether.
BTW, how does the Parasound handle the ESLs? I look at your M-L specs & compared to Parasound's & wonder how on earth it handles the treble.
Hey, are those Scenerio ESLs able to elevate above the woofer's sonic path?....just my 2¢
