Luxman preamp into Mark Levinson amp?

Thank you Seismic. I haven't gotten it out yet but my attenuater is a single pot volume so it will be simple. I suppose placing the attenuator between the amp and pre makes more sense than between the CD and pre. Thanks for your info.

Good morning Kofibaffour. Could you elaborate a bit on the term "true voltage source". I'm thinking the ability of the amp to double watts as load is halved suggests the amp comes close to pushing the full hous current threw the system. Is this kind of what you mean?

kinda @squirrely 

a true voltage source maintains its voltage regardless of the load.

Less robust amps start to run our of ability to deliver double the power with a resistance halving because their internal voltage sags when the speaker asks for more current.

the Levinson basically does't sag as basically doubles in power delivery even when resistance is halved

Thank you Kofibaffor

Different equipment, but I have found the combination of a tube preamp, in my case the Rogue Audio RP-7, and solid state power amps, Odyssey Kismet monobloc (in Khartago cases), driving my Fyne F-702s to be superior to a tube preamp/tube power amp combination.  The improvement was immediately noticeable and significant, in terms of resolution, sound stage, and instrument/voice tonal qualities.

Happy listening!
