How to hook up a tube preamp to my integrated amp

The technical side of music is not my strength so I'm looking for some help. I have a MuFi a308 integrated amp and want to hook up a Rogue 66 to use the phono stage for a Rega p25 with Benz Ace HO. The 308 has an AV pass thru and a Tape out. I was thinking that if I pluged the preamp into either of those they would work, but I don't want to screw something up with the amp or preamp. Any advice is helpful.

Thanks

Connect the pre-amp outputs of the Rogue to the AV processor loop inputs of the MFA308. When you engage the AV processor loop/HT bypass button, it simply bypasses all of the pre-amp functions of the MF Integrated, basically turning it into a power amp. None of the "control" functions on the MF Integrated will work when in bypass, so you would use the volume control on the Rogue when the AV processor bypass is engaged.

You might also want to try connecting all of your source components to the Rogue to determine if you like the sound better when the tube pre-amp is in the circuit.

Enjoy,
