AVR preamp out question

Why won't my hooking up my tubed linestage (no bypass) via my AVR's preamp
out work? I would like to use Rogue Stereo 90 for L/R via my tube line stage but it doesn't work, no sound. I can use the amp via the preamp out but would like to utilize the line stage. Consider it a rookie question.
Thanks,

It should work and is commonly done. What AVR do you have and have you tried different inputs on the tube preamp?

Depends on the AVR. Harman-Kardon preamp-outs wouldn't allow you to do this, for example.

Why? What are preamp-outputs good for if they will not output a signal?

I have a HK 7200 i use in 6 direct mode with the pre-outs to a forte 4a for 2 channel to merlin tsm and it works great-not sure what the problem would be.
