I'd say use the receiver as a preamp into the power amp...and use a good pair of cables. This will provide the cleanest sound. Don't start messing with y-cables of questionable quality.
Go with the purest signal.

Amp/Pre-amp Bridge 101
I'm in need of some very basic assistance to help my dad get his 2-channel audio system running. He's got a NAD 701 receiver and recently purchased a used NAD 2150 power amp. He asked me if it's possible to utilize the 701 as a pre-amp but also to take advantage of it's 25wpc power to use in conjunction with the 50wpc from the power amp. On the receiver, there are pre-outs (left and right) and a main-in (left and right) both currently linked w/ the metal posts. The amp simply has mains (left and right). Anyone have a suggestion as to whether or not this idea will fly?
Thank you kindly,
Tom
