Hey everyone,
So I have a wonderful Sony GX808ES receiver, and it has preamp outs. I just picked up a pair of Rotel Amps used, and I *should* be able to hook up the Amps to the receiver, and bypass its amp section. I am sort of curious how to hook this up properly.
(This will take me from 85w / channel @ .04% THD to 180w /channel @.03% THD
)
The receiver has two "short plugs" on the back of it which route "Pre Out" to "Main In" for the left and right channels.
I assume that I should just take out the short plugs, plug an rca cable from the "Pre Out" to the inputs on the Rotel amps, one for each channel; then plug the speakers into the ampllifiers.
Do I need to put anything into the "Main in" plug on the receiver now? Anything else I need to do to set this up properly?
