Thanks for letting us know how the 'test' turned out. That's very good to hear.

This tends to confirm the theory that you're in a narrow window of strong versus weak signal reception and that just a minor change in any one of the major components would tip the scale one way or the other.

I still have very little affection for the RCA preamp in this application, but if this current arrangement works, great (don't fix it if it aint broke).

Grounding is a good idea, and it rarely needs to be a big expensive project.
