preamp into integrated amp yes/no?


I have an Ayon Triton III. I also have a Conrad-Johnson PV7. Any benefit to hooking them together?

The only possibility I can see is needing to use the PV7 for a phono stage. Then the turntable would connect to the PV7 and the PV7's tape/rec output would connect to an input on the Ayon. This should avoid the overload problem that Bob pointed out.
The Ayon does not have a phono input, only line level inputs, so an external phono stage will be necessary to use a turntable. The phono stage provides RIAA equalization and extra gain that is required for the cartridge.
