Audioquest Niagara 1200

It definitely won't "hurt" the preamp. There is simply less filtering on the high current outlets so that they can deliver more current. I actually prefer those outlets over the others.

No, definitely will not hurt it.

I've listened both ways with my 1200 and ended up plugging my preamp into a high current slot.  My VAC preamp has a robust separate power power supply that I feel benefits from the high current.

It will still offer some filtering, though not as much as the other outlets. That may not be a bad thing as what filtering you do get may be all you need. 

Having an integrated using one of two H/C slots I had the other free to use. My SACD player was supposed to go with one of the remaining outlets employing more filtration. I tried both high and low filtering outlets and couldn't, for the life of me, hear a difference. 

Using both sounded equally great.

Very slick comment Tom

Only your ears will know for sure. Why haven’t you listened both ways? We cannot hear your system with your 👂’s!
