Who is using their receiver as a preamp only?


Just curious about experience. I'm considering the Antique Sound Lab Wave monoblocks to power the ZU Omens I'm about to order. I would eventually go with a Tube integrated (cayin 50 T, etc) and I would have to purchase a separate DAC for the Cable box and Apple TV2. I currently have a Pioneer Elite A/V receiver.

I have an old but versatile and good quality NAD 7020 receiver that I use as a spare receiver, amp, pre-amp tuner as needed.

I swapped it into my second system last winter when the pre-amp there developed a problem and have been satisfied enough to leave it in since, though eventually I would like to get a newer pre-amp for that system and return the NAD to spare/bench duties only.
