Help please pre-tuner as a stand-alone tuner ???


I own a tube integrated with 4 line inputs, no remote.
I wish to use an ADCOM GFP-450 preamp/tuner combination as a stand-alone tuner will this work?

Another question! This pre-tuner has a remote. Any way I could connect a VCR to the GFP-450, and then connect it to one of the inputs on my integrated and use the pre-tuner remote to control volume?

Any help much appreciated...
Thanks,
Mike

Thanks for your help guys, it's a puzzling question. The idea of having at least the on-off feature through the pre-amp is nice BUT...as for the integrated plugged in to the pre-amp , seems I would just be routing the power through unnecessary stages through the pre-amp instead or a direct clean (well sort of) electricity feed directly into the wall? Am I not ''contaminating '' my power this way? Funny how a simple topic can evolve...

Well, the wall power wouldn't be going through "stages", just extra wire and contacts, plus a switch. Just try it and see if you can hear a difference.
Thanks for the help. Connecting the pre-out to the line in of the tube integrated yields lesser quality sonics than the tape out jacks on this same pre-amp. Sure, the pre-amps remote can be used to control the integrated, but it's not worth it sonically, as the signal is pre-amplified twice....finally tried it, and not worth it really.

Thanks!
Glad to know that I can prognosticate something correctly every once in a while! :-) Sorry you'll have to keep getting exercise adjusting the volume with your VCR. :-(
