A true preamp will not have "speaker outputs" on it. It sounds like maybe you are trying to use an integrated amp as a preamp? Unless this has preout/main-in jumpers or a seperate set of preouts, (usually RCA jacks), you won't be able to use it. You could maybe use the tape out jacks, if there are any, but sometimes these are not controlled by the volume control.
HELP I need information about interconnects
I am trying to set up a turntable to speakers, and have these steps:
Turntable to preamp -> speaker output of preamp to Bedini Class A 100/100 MK II amplifier -> Speaker output to Speakers.
Now the real trouble I'm finding is in the proper interconnect to go from the speaker output on the preamp to the right and left inputs on the Bedini amp.
As far as I can see, the Nordost Valhalla with z-plug termination is ALL I can find to suit this connection.
Can anyone please tell me if:
A.) I completely misunderstand my situation
B.) There are any other cheaper but decent interconnects of this type.
