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

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. :-(
