You can use your pre out as the preamp, but I’d expect it to have an impact on the resulting sound, so you likely won’t get the full effect of the amp. Still worth a try. A pure tube chain is the best way to experience tubes IMO, but it’s also obviously more involved. Many who mix SS/tube go the route of a tube preamp and SS amp.
Is pre-out the same ?
I have an integrated amp with a "pre-out" function . I want to try a
tube amp onto my SS integrated amp through this pre-out connection .
Does this "pre-out" have the same impedance requirements as a
stand alone preamp ? I believe that it is a 1 to 10 ratio of impedance from
preamp to amp . Or , for instance , a 10k ohm impedance on the preamp out
to 100k ohm impedance for the amp-in . Correct ?
Are there any other requirements that I should consider ?
Thank you and be safe .
