Integrated Feeding Integrated

If both must have volume control the ideal should be to have the first one having the volume set to 0 db if the volume reads that way as it should effectively pass the signal without attenuating it. I may eventually hook my receiver into my integrated for more options and would end up doing this.

Running the second integrated wide open may not be a good idea. Also, there may be other ways to interface the two amps. Would you care to list your equipment and how it is connected?

The receiver that I am using as a pre has preouts (variable volume and EQable) and record out (fixed which bypasses all volume/tone controls). I find the setup sounds the best when I use the record out signal and control the volume on the second integrated. I guess I will continue to do that for now.
