Cary SLP-98 tape out question


I sometimes run the Cary preamp into an integrated amp by using its tape out connectors.  I've found out the Cary unit doesn't need to be turned on in this mode in order for the signal to reach the integrated amp.

I've used the tape out function on various preamps and never realized the pre didn't need to be turned on to use it that way.

Is this normal for all preamps with the tape out function or something unique to the Cary?
Thanks, and stay safe.

So then you are not using the Cary as a pre and it is simply a pass through on the ape out. 
Much like the sub out on a Raven integrated.
