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

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.

jspnz,

I have Atoll IN300 and wanted to bypass the preamp section and add a tube preamp for some tubey goodness! Can you suggest a tube preamp that wouls sync up with Atoll. TMR has used Vincent SA-T7MK any good?
