Bypass Preamp& Amp

Take it out. Maybe dinner and a movie, who knows, good things might happen.

You can't bypass the Denon unless you run Y connectors from your inputs to both pieces and a second set of speaker wire out to the speakers from the integrated amp. If you do that, make damn sure the Denon and the integrated are NOT both powered up simultaneously.

You could then do an A/B comparison by alternating between the receiver and the integrated but I'd wait a few minutes after powering one down before firing up the other.

Thanks willhiteb. I spoke to Denon today and they were no help but I understand it can be done--the person who suggested it, can no longer be reached. Question for you: You can run the intergrated out of the pre-out on the denon with no problems--right?

Thanks Again.
