No, the unpowered/not used amp would load down the powered amp and depending on the circuit could actually damage it.
System to system
I am fairly new to high end stuff and am still kingda in the learning curve stage.
I have a Cary tube preamp and amp that runs through a set of Harbeth HL5 speakers. I also have a large Sansui G9000 solid state that has been all recapped and brought up to todays standards. I'd like to run the Sansui in my rack as a secondary system to utilize the tuner and power a Sony transport and Lite DAC that are also in the rack. Can I run speaker leads to my Harbeth speakers and hook them up to the binding posts that also are hooked up to my Cary system without causing any damage or feedback? I would never run the systems at the same time.
