Integrated preamp outputs

I have a Belles Aria solid state integrated with preamp outs. I would like to try it as a preamp only on my tube amps. Is it safe to have no speaker load on the unused amp section of the Belles integrated?
Thanks

Yep. You're good to go. That is exactly how it is intended to be used.

I'm about to do the exact same thing with my Aria integrated.

Gonna use the pre outs to a more powerful amp. My speakers need more juice!

I used my NAD C356BEE for a decade as a preamp with my McIntosh MC2120 power amp.  No issues.

HI all, I have an Atoll IN200 integrated amp and AM200 amplifier (basically 4 monoblocks setup as each amp is double monoblocked). I use the IN200 to bi-amp my speakers. Works like a charm and dedicated monoblocks on the drivers and woofers sounds lovely.
