adcom-500


I recently acquired a very nice adcom-500 tuner/ pre amp.  I have never worked with pre=amps before and am curious.  What device or component do I need for the adcom to drive speakers.  Do I run all of my aux inputs cd - phono - tape etc.) to the back of the adcom and use the "main out norm" rca cable to an aux on my receiver.  Or is there a better way?  Any help would be much appreciated.

As @artemus_5 stated. You need a power amplifier, such as the Adcom GFA-555, or any other power amplifier that accepts RCA style interconnect cable inputs. The combination of the Adcom pre-amp and a power amp would essentially replace the receiver, but would not have the built-in am/fm tuner.

NO! You need an amplifier. If your receiver has an amp in, then you can use it and plug into that jack. But that is NOT a common feature on receivers. Otherwise you need an amplifier.
