Using the tape loop completely bypasses the volume control in the preamp. It's similar to hooking up the source directly to the headphone amp. You will have no problems, but you will have to use the volume control on the headphone amp.
Preamp & headphone amp hookup - I need your help
Okay experts, if someone can help me figure out how to make this hookup without blowing something up I will be very greatful! I have an Audio Refinement Pre5 preamp (which has two sets of preamp outputs, a tape monitor, remote control but NO headphone jack) and an ASL MG-Head tube preamp. Since I can't afford a new preamp right now that has a headphone output I would like to hook up the MG-Head to my Pre5 if possible. Here's what I'm thinking of doing after researching the subject online:
Connect the MG-Head using the Pre5's tape monitor loop; set the volume to 12:00 on the MG-Head and be able to control the volume using the Pre5's remote control.
I'm not sure if this would blow up my amp or preamp so if anyone knows if this will work, or has an alternative solution, please let me know. Thanks in advance for your help.
