Hi,
I tried a similar small preamp box called a PYLE PP999 (though it doesn't have a grounding screw like the one you link) and it gives a lot of line noise, even though it got good reviews on amazon.
I was thinking about the TEC preamp, also listed here:

but still not sure.

I got the Pyle grounded last night and had a listen. At first I was surprised at how much gain there was.
I felt like the response was very flat.
Compared to the receiver I was using before, the Pyle through my Sony was loud but lifeless.
The receiver I used before was a KLH Model 55. After a month of use the left channel died. I noticed that before it died, when I would turn the volume knob down to the off position, the volume would get loud rush of static just before it switched off.
I got a strong, clear and animated sound from this receiver and I'm afraid I won't be able to find a reasonably priced amp to replace it.
I wonder if I took a picture of the KLH board someone here could spot the defective component. I took a look and I couldn't tell, but part of the board is messy with a white coating over some of the components.
