Using Musical Fidelity A3 integrated as preamp?

I have a Musical Fidelity A3 integrated amp and now want to get a McIntosh MC-275 or MC-2102 tube amp. The MF has a preamp output. Can I use the MF integrated as a preamp only with the new Mac amp? What is the function of the volume control on the MF when using it as a preamp only?
Thanks!

Rich, I'm sure you sound is doing it for you; as it should. Me? I sometimes don't know what I'm missing until I hear/exposed (can be a serendipitous experience) to what I'm missing. Sometime it takes a major leap in faith from an auiophool who knows my ear (for me) to make an untested/auditioned change. ALWAYS has brough me to a more enjoyable listening experience. Go figure
