Using A/V receiver as pre-amp?


I'm new to hifi and still looking for a pre-amp. I was told to use my current A/V receiver as pre-amp temporarily. Does this really work? BTW, I've just bought a used Bryston 4B ST and a pair of Thiel CS3.5

Yeah it will work temporarily or permanently for that matter. But your system will sound markedly better when you get a bonafide preamp for music (unless you have one helluva an AV receiver). Use the receiver for a while, so you can really take your time and get the preamp that you will be really happy with for a long while. It's murder trying to get your money back from experiments. With your nice speakers and poweramp, you're going to want to get a quality pre to match.

Good luck.
