preamp into integrated amp yes/no?


I have an Ayon Triton III. I also have a Conrad-Johnson PV7. Any benefit to hooking them together?

"Reading comments by folks who have never tried it.. Well they do not know if it will sound good or not.
Only the op can try it and see if it sounds better , to him.
As for problems, no. No problem electrically doing it."

What comments by people here who have never tried it? Unless you are talking about a thread other than this one? If you remember, not too long ago, I asked you if you have ever tried just using your VAC without the Bryston in the way. My though was, and still is, that what you are hearing is the result of using a good preamp (VAC), and not just using it as a tube buffer. You said that you never tried it both ways. If that's the case, its kind of hard to make a comparison. Yes, of course it will work. But will it sound better? You won't know until you try it both ways.

The only possibility I can see is needing to use the PV7 for a phono stage. Then the turntable would connect to the PV7 and the PV7's tape/rec output would connect to an input on the Ayon. This should avoid the overload problem that Bob pointed out.
Thanks. Is there any reason to use the pv 7 for the phono stage as opposed to just using the Ayon?
The Ayon does not have a phono input, only line level inputs, so an external phono stage will be necessary to use a turntable. The phono stage provides RIAA equalization and extra gain that is required for the cartridge.
